Fog is a part of being on the shore, especially in the morning hours before the sun has a chance to burn it off. With the recent warmer weather, there was some fairly dense fog at the southern end of the Thames River this morning. I figured I might be […]

Well today was a bit busy at work, so I didn’t get a chance to head out at my normal time for my walk. It would have to wait until after lunch, and even then, it would have to be shorter than normal. I figured that, despite the harsh midday […]
From sunny and warm on Tuesday, to cloudy rainy and dreary yesterday and back to sunny and nice today. Gotta love New England Weather – paraphrasing the immortal words of Mark Twain, if you don’t like it, wait a minute. So I headed out for my walk at the normal […]
Well, this morning was a pretty stark contrast to yesterday’s blue skies and warm temperatures – a rather chilly start to the day, on and off showers, and a misty drizzle hanging in the air. But that didn’t keep me from my walk! With the weather the way it was, […]

For today’s walk, I decided to stay a bit further south, and hit Red Top at about MP4 on the Providence & Worcester’s Norwich Branch. As it turns out, this was a pretty good decision – I not only was able to catch P&W train NR-2 heading south with quite […]
