281. Ritz Crystal Balloom Lighting and Style Museums
Just Plain Crackers Torrington (Google Maps location) November 1, 2014 This place confuses me. It confused me when I visited and it confuses me now as I write.

Lime Rock Park
Rockin’ Lime Rock Park, Salisbury September 28, 2012 When hiking the Appalachian Trail, I’d hear a persistent rumor that thru-hikers could get into Lime Rock for free – should he or she happen to come down to Route 7 on a race day.

GLT: Fox Brook Preserve
Gosh Darn Nice Goshen Land Trust, Goshen, 0.7 Miles March 2016 When you skim this page it will have no effect on you. And it shouldn’t.
