The photos in this gallery were taken on a six-hike trek to complete the North-South Trail in Rhode Island. The NST is a 75-mile marked trail that extends from Blue Shutters Beach on the Atlantic Ocean in Charlestown, RI up to the Buck Hill Management Area on the Massachusetts border. In 2011 we are doing the trek in six stages from south to north. The planned date and sections are as follows:

Section 1 (completed) - 19 March - 11.7 miles
Section 2 (completed) - 02 April - 13.94 miles
Section 3 (completed) - 16 April - 16.8 miles
Section 4 (completed) - 30 April - 10.1 miles
Section 5 (completed) - 14 May - 13.1 miles
