4.2 miles; Voluntown, CT Haven’t been on this trail since the drunk hunters way back when, and I missed it. Glad to be back. This is an even better look at the newly-installed boardwalk along a particularly treacherous section of the trail along the side of the ravine. I especially like the log ladder leading […]

7.5 miles; Voluntown and Sterling, CT Mileage hike. Um, perhaps I should explain that… See, I’ve been on Weight Watchers for lo, these many months (since the last week of March).

It wasn’t the best haul I’ve ever gotten, but […]

5.06 miles; Voluntown, CT This was supposed to be a mushroom-hunting hike, but there was nary a fungus to be seen except for some old gilled things of questionable edibility. So I also did a little exploring of the old cellar hole complex I call “Twin Oaks Farm” and took a side-trip down to Coal […]
