2018 Year in Exploration
2018 Stats
2018 was an eventful year where I really rounded out the hikes in the Northeast part of the state. From forgotten town trails to the worst hike ever at Blackwell Brook. We had 149 days of rain this year which made every waterfall and cascade hammer beautifully at the cost of mud and wet feet on nearly every hike.
Old properties changed, like the dam removal at Blackledge Falls and the tornado that closed Sleeping Giant. New trails were added like the Williams Preserve in Coventry and I got to map the trails at both Humaston Brook and Bishop Swamp.
I added 114 locations to the map in 2018.
