4.88 miles 2.3 mph at last i got to walk this final bit of the narragansett trail! part of this stretch has been closed since last october per the rod and gun club through which it passes; it opened april 1. i liked it a lot. it has a less-travelled feeling to it south of […]

4.44 miles 2.4 mph did a quick out-and-back because i’m still nursing a sore muscle in my calf. the first part of this trail was on the blue-blazed pachaug trail, and aside from the usual atv and dirt bike damage, both of these trails were really interesting. they went through an abandoned farm and […]

8.56 miles ★★½ i had so much fun doing the (almost) 8-mile vin gormley trail on monday that i decided to do another 8-miler, this time in the pachaug state forest. well, i found out there’s a big difference between (almost) 8 miles on a flat, well-traveled footpath and 8 1/2 miles on what were […]

★★★½ 3.87 miles did this on april 30, but this time went with a group; the SE-CT adventurers. it seemed shorter this time, but it’s still a very nice hike. it might be worth doing in the opposite direction next time, so the boring road mile isn’t at the end.
