5 miles; Mansfield, CT I did a fair bit of driving today to get to some trails I’d never been on before, but actually ended up retracing a portion of a hike I did a little over 2 years ago. There was an amazing view from atop the “50-Foot Cliff.” Now I have to figure […]

6.5 miles; Voluntown, CT It’s been literally 4 1/2 years since I hiked this, and not much has changed about the hike, but a lot has changed about me. Then it was an epic journey. Today, just another great day in the woods. And I got to kinda sorta see the wind farm in western Coventry […]
