 | Comments: |
The trails, which mostly consist of two connected loops, the south in Coventry and the north in Foster, add up to 7 miles, but with double-tracking on the connector and a few little detours, I hiked about 8.5 miles. Lots of evidence of 18-19th Century habitation, especially the mysterious cairns above Negro Sawmill Brook (or are they even older?). |
