Today was another meandering generally southward day as we add more states to our “RV’ed in” map. We started out by finding a nearby hiking trail to get the majority of our walking early in the day. The New London Turnpike trail follows the old route of a road that was built in 1835 to connect Providence, RI to New London, CT. As such it was one of the first interstate highways. It is listed as a 2.6 mile out and back trail. However, about midway it was flooded so we walked back to the parking area and drove to the other trailhead to walk the lower part of the trail.
After our hike we headed to Connecticut to spend tonight (remember, the map?). On the way we stopped at a local cemetery to find a geocache in the state. We are glad we did. Not for the cache but to find the oddest grave marker we have ever seen. Even Google had no idea about its history.
We arrived at our Harvest Hosts location early afternoon. The Farm at Carter Hill is an interesting event venue. We spent the first half hour just walking around looking at the buildings and displays. When we made the reservation, the host asked us to be gone early tomorrow because they are expecting over 1,000 people for an event. With that many people coming in we will definitely be gone. (Actually we volunteered to stay and help if they needed us to, but they declined.)
Now we are comfortably preparing for our Wednesday night online small group Bible study.
