1.7 miles; Exeter and Richmond, RI Just a short pre-lunch walk with a friend around this pretty little pond. We ambled through the abandoned fish hatchery and stopped to admire the cardinal flowers in bloom.

3.9 miles; Exeter and Richmond, RI A continuation of the earlier hike today, still looking for Black Trumpets.
