howdy all
back from day 3 of my day hikes
now it's time relax and eat well
round trip today was 12.6 miles that's about it for me unless i get more hiking time gotta get the legs in shape !
today the weather was about as good as it gets bright sun low humidity i hiking from the hikers parking lot near lime rock to rand's view and returned.There is very little water available the summer has been really dry. i only saw 2 other hikers today but i did spot 2 packs near the lean-to at rand's view
work's really getting in the way of my hiking.

i saw 2 people on monday and 10 people today.
i hope to get as far south as west cornwall road. i find it very hard to get cool distance by section hiking solo....there is only one car ! it's out and back every time but i figure all trail time is quality time ....
weather was good not much sun...cloud cover was heavy on monday no view at all from lion's head.
i kinda enjoy my solo day hikes my long day came last year 18.5 miles....sorry gang i'm a slave to creature comforts a shower and a well stocked kitchen cable tv and internet access make up my campsite besides i think i'm getting to old to sleep on the ground and carry those heavy loads
cya in the woods

Well, what prior experience do you have?

I hike solo a lot...but now I take Ms. Trailboss on almost every hike. On the solo treks I really and cautious and don't take too many risks...I'm still here to talk about it. It does teach one to be self-reliant. If done with respect and with some intelligence, wilderness solo treks can be quite rewarding assuming you set your limits and know what you're doing
