Another Grills Hike

5.68 miles; westerly and hopkinton, ri i was looking for someplace fairly local to hike today, and i haven’t been here all summer, so… the water levels were surprisingly low, not that that should shock me, but it kind of did. this is a property, however, that never disappoints. it’s a great walk. and because […]

slliG ehT

3.87 miles; westerly, ri i thought i’d walk the grills backwards from the way i usually always walk it. very cool! like having a whole new preserve to explore! here’s the view from “big hill.” i don’t usually go up here; it’s a short out-and-back spur trail, and the view, once you’ve seen it, doesn’t […]

Westerly and Hopkinton Grills

6.56 miles; westerly and hopkinton, ri well this was quite an eventful hike. i walked over 6-1/2 miles, and got to see the new tomaquag brook bridge, which is, in a word, spectacular. and i saw almost all of the hopkinton grills. and i lost my car keys, which necessitated a 45-minute wait in the […]

Riverwood

2.8 miles; westerly, ri another 50+ degree day in december in new england, so another quick trip out. i haven’t been on riverwood since august of 2012, and it’s not a good place to visit in the summer. in the winter, however, it’s another story. the bones of the place are evident, from massive rock […]
