4.2 miles; North Stonington, CT I was curious to see the results of the “rabbitat” clearing that Avalonia had done on this nearby preserve, so I made a quick visit. They stayed pretty far away from the pond and the cemetery, so it’s not as shocking as I had frankly expected. This was along my […]

2 miles; Preston, Griswold, and North Stonington, CT Today was a garden club hike on a lovely day, led by a member of Avalonia (there is some overlap between members of my garden club and members of Avalonia) and a very knowledgeable guide, who was able to identify bird calls and plants.

1 miles; North Stonington, CT It’s been a while since I was able to get up here for the Equinox celebration in my town. Glad I got back to it. It’s always a strangely thrilling experience hiking up in the dark, and this year we had a full moon, too. It was darned cold this […]
