Rhode Hikes: August 2012
http://rihikes.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
Not hikes on Roads! Nature hikes in (and around) Rhode Island. Friday, August 24, 2012. Mount Monadnock, NH. Saturday, May 19, 2012. The Boy Scout troop planned a big hike. Stay at Camp Wanocksett. And hike from there to the peak. I was really looking forward to it, but it was not to be. Scoutmaster came down with a stomach virus and had to cancel. This was last year. This spring, we went up. I leave with one photo. It includes unrelated scouts, but I already put it on facebook, so what's the harm. There...

Not hikes on Roads! Nature hikes in (and around) Rhode Island. Sunday, August 7, 2011. North South Trail, Roaring Brook Pond to Hazard Road. This blog has been neglected. I've been doing my share of hiking, just not posting about it. I intend on remedying that. Saturday, April 9, 2011. That's right. April 9. And again, because unrelated youths are involved, only one photo. Soon we approached the highlight of the Ben Utter trail: Stepstone Falls. Here we passed more hikers, one a cub scout parent I kn...

Not hikes on Roads! Nature hikes in (and around) Rhode Island. Sunday, January 23, 2011. Powder Mill Ledges, Smithfield. Sunday, January 9. On a clear and snow-filled day, I took 15 cub scouts and siblings, along with 9 or so parents to the Audubon Society. S Powder Mill Ledges wildlife refuge. We saw signs of animal life including animal prints, woodpecker holes, and a few birds. Afterwards, there was hot chocolate. I believe the children really enjoyed themselves.

Suspense Novelist: Wednesday Wisdom for Writer and Those Who Love Them
http://suspensenovelist.blogspot.com/2015/07/wednesday-wisdom-for-writer-and-those.html
Evocative Characters. Intriguing Crime. Compelling Stories. From Peg Brantley. Wednesday, July 15, 2015. Wednesday Wisdom for Writer and Those Who Love Them. I recently finished reading KINDRED. By Octavia E. Butler. Although my list of her quotes doesn't tie this one to KINDRED, I have to think it was. I wasn't trying to work out my own ancestry. I was trying to get people to feel slavery. I was trying to get across the kind of emotional and psychological stones that slavery threw at people.". Wednesday...

Rhode Hikes: November 2011
http://rihikes.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Not hikes on Roads! Nature hikes in (and around) Rhode Island. Sunday, November 27, 2011. Escoheag Trail, Arcadia. Saturday, June 25, 2011. Rule 1 of Leave No Trace: Plan Ahead and Prepare. I've faulted myself on occasion for being too prepared. I've gone on a two mile day hike with a medical kit, extra food, clothing, and water, flashlight, and gotten weird glances from fellow hikers carrying a half liter of water and a banana. So why do I bring this up? Somehow never made it back into my pack or the car.

Rhode Hikes: Backpacking trip, Mount Greylock, Massachusetts
http://rihikes.blogspot.com/2013/08/backpacking-trip-mount-greylock.html
Not hikes on Roads! Nature hikes in (and around) Rhode Island. Sunday, August 25, 2013. Backpacking trip, Mount Greylock, Massachusetts. I'm breaking from tradition. I have three hikes ahead of this one, but I wanted to get this sucker documented as soon as possible. In many ways, it was a life changing hike. The shelter wasn't in tip-top shape, but not quite the catastrophe we saw at Pachaug. It isn't used much by through hikers and more by recreational ATV people. Someone apparently needed the ...Sleep...
