Barn Island

4.52 miles; stonington, ct since there is no hunting permitted in connecticut on sundays, i headed back to beautiful barn island, no longer a dystopian hellscape of blood-sucking insects, unless you count deer ticks. it was a cool gray day, but always a good walk. i was struck by all the different colors in the […]

Maxwell Mayes Preserve

4.21 miles; coventry, ri there aren’t too many places i want to hike on saturdays during hunting season. audubon preserves are best, because there is no hunting allowed ever. which really leaves some not bad places in rhode island, max mayes among them. if you do some re-tracing here you can get over 4 miles in.
