13.8 miles; Charlestown, Richmond, and Exeter, RI Wow. I had forgotten (perhaps mercifully) how rugged the very last few miles of this section are. Painful. But I’m not in as bad shape as I was after Leg 1, so I’m getting stronger. And just in time for Leg 3, which is 17 miles… This hike […]

6 miles; Exeter and Richmond, RI I guess I could have also titled this post “Tefft Hill Mushroom Hunt,” but that quest proved completely fruitless, at least as far as Black Trumpets were concerned.

2 miles; Richmond, RI Today was a special trip to an Audubon sanctuary that is not normally open to the public. It was a birding hike. I had never been on a birding hike before, so I dressed for regular hiking on this overcast 40-degree day. Bad idea… birders don’t hike, per se. They walk […]
