Big River #5

2.4 miles; west greenwich, ri i decided to try downloading a track uploaded by another hiking blogger, hiking-in-ri. you can find this track at this link. hiking from a downloaded gps track is pretty much like hiking from a map, except you know where you are on the map. if that makes any sense. i […]
