Trails(s) Hiked:N/S Trail Headed North
Total Distance:?????
Difficulty:Easy
Conditions:Bare ground patches of Ice
Special Required Equipment:none
Trip Report:This trail runs right by my house, as i live on the RI boarder. The total trail run 78 miles, and can be done in 6 sections. I started off from Rt. 6 at a little restaurant called Shady Acres, (which by the way has a good breakfast, all farm fresh dairy's and eggs). I left around 1pm so day light was limited, the first section follows an ATV route, through the woods. The trails where marked very well. There was some junk cars and refridgerators. ect. This trail ran for a while, there where only a couple spots with junk, and then you come across an old shingle mill the remanants of the stone frame and damn. There is a sign that describes that it was started in the early 1900's, (don't remember how long) and then shut down by 1926. Shortly after you come out of the woods and start road walking, (yuck)!. The senery was still nice due to it going through a rual area, but it kills my feet. I walked until i was at the point where i either kept going and someone would have to pick me up, or i had to turn around. I got to where the trail passes killingly pond which is on the right, and enters back into the woods. I tried to call a few people but no was around so i had to turn around.
