Welcome to the February 23th edition of our Hiking Adventures in Pictures

Welcome Back Hiking Fans!

Yes, I know... It's been about 6 weeks since I last updated our hiking blog. Well, alot has happened since then... Deb and I skipped a week or two getting our apartment ready for our new first floor tenent, and Sof and Rob had some work to do I'm sure as well. I also had to work 2 weekends in a row. But in any rate... we hit the trails this past weekend, and I have pictures.

Here we are, at the top of Lantern Hill.



Last week, we hiked the Airline trail because we thought that it was going to be dry, but we didn't anticipate how icey it was going to be. It was actualy dangerous. We didn't enjoy ourselves, so we left early, and we didn't take any pictures.

On January 24th, Deb and I drove out to Norwich, and hiked from RT164 to RT2 and back.



On January 10th, we started out at Beach Pond, and were able to take this shot. Another cold day.



On December 26th we also hiked the Airline trail. Kali really had alot of fun that day, I remember...



ok, now that the weather is starting to get a little better, maybe we will be able to get some more consistent hiking in. We will see...

Talk to everyone next week...

Welcome to the December 15th edition of our Hiking Adventures in Pictures

Welcome Hiking Fans!

This week, Deb and I had an extremely busy Saturday. We had plans to go hiking in the morning, and then swap presents at our friend's Maureen and Brian's annual Christmas party in East Hampton. Because of all the rush, we needed to convince Rob and Sof to stay close to home, which wasn't that hard to do. :-) Since we already hiked Lantern Hill two week's back, we decided to do Bluff Point in Groton.

It was an extremely cold morning, especially since we were hiking so close to the shore. The wind was bitter cold, blowing right off the top of that ocean. It was biting at everyone's nose and fingers during the entire hike, although Kali didn't seem to mind a bit.

I didn't take any pictures this time around, so I will post some from last year when we were there, on December 22nd. You won't see Rob in these set of pictures, but he was there all right, setting the pace.



We ended up hiking one complete loop, and then decided to hike out to the portable lavatories, about another mile and a half around the loop again. We did 6.7 miles total according to Rob's pedometer. Lunch and Starbucks was enjoyed in Mystic, and a good time was had by all.



See everyone next week!

Welcome Hiking Fans!

Here are the pictures from this past week's hike.

I think we have a theme starting here... Kali enjoying every minute of her adventures tromping around in the wilderness, while Rob boosts her on top of that big rock for our picture.





ok folks, that enough for me this week,

Welcome to the December 1st edition of our Hiking Adventures in Pictures

Welcome Hiking Fans!

We ended up hiking up Lantern Hill this past week. It was much warmer than last week, and that surprised us, so we ended up shedding off a layer or two by the time we were at the top.

We ended up starting at the bottom of Lantern Hill on the side closest to Foxwoods, climbed to the top, and then back down the other side where we continued on. Then we hiked across the North Stonington Dump, and ended up turning around at the Trout bridge which is just before our trail crosses to RT2. We eventually made it back to the base of Lantern Hill, climbed up and back down again, and back to our cars.









And we love lunch and latte's.

See everyone next week!

Welcome to the November 24th edition of our Hiking Adventures in Pictures

Welcome Hiking Fans!

It was a cold one out there this past week, rising to about 22 degrees on the trail. I hope it warms up for next week.

I've been really busy these last few weeks, trying to rid our computers of all them viruses everyone has been talking about. So, I'm going to keep this one short, and hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving. Deb and I are really looking forward to seeing you all during this holiday season.

I think this week's pic came out pretty good... don't you think?



ok, see everyone next week!
