7.5 miles; West Greenwich, RI My weekly “mileage” hike. Came away from this with very bad back pain for some reason. Could be that I got a new daypack. It’s not any heavier than the old one, but it’s a different size; longer. I’ve scheduled a massage, so stay tuned. This is why you have […]

9.5 miles; West Greenwich and Coventry, RI and Sterling, CT I called this Day 2.5 because it’s the dreaded Day 3 18-mile section, and I just didn’t feel up to 18 miles. Instead, I met my pals Mel and Bob at Pinetop and hiked the last 9+ miles with them. The detour wasn’t as bad […]

4.27 miles; West Greenwich, RI This hike was a Providence County Hiking Club (PCHC) visit to this state management area on an exploration hike. Even with the best map, the Great Swamp Press map, the trails in here are ever-shifting and unpredictable. We followed a Hiking in RI GPS track for most of it. This […]
