7.5 miles; charlestown, ri first time back here since january, and it was just me and one of the “usual suspects.” it was a bright, sunny day but there are enough leaves now to provide dappled shade, and there was a nice breeze, so the hiking conditions were perfect. lots of spring ephemerals out, too.

7.13 miles; charlestown, ri today was a usual suspects hike—and fidget, who i guess is now one of the usual suspects. it was a nice, if cold day, with lots of sun. we saw noone else on the whole trail. we did it as a car spot to skip the road walking, just because we could. […]
