6.47 miles; charlestown, ri wow. this was a longer hike than i anticipated. but it was quite interesting. i started out on sammy’s c’s trail, which i had explored before last december. my ankle was not up to walking the whole trail at that time, so i cut it short, but i have been wanting to […]

2.9 miles; charlestown, ri we had torrential rains here yesterday, reminiscent of the 2010 floods, though not quite that bad. i thought maybe ninigret would be dryer than most places i usually hike, and i wasn’t wrong, at least as far as the handicapped-accessible trails were concerned. no such luck, though, on the cross-refuge trail.

2.56 miles; charlestown, ri this trail sounded so promising! close to home, old king’s highway crossing, cellar holes, beaver dams… and it was such a bust. i’m going to assume that the hopkinton land trust was unable to get or retain an easement for the tomaquag trail, so instead of a lollipop loop, this became […]
