CTMQ’s Guide to Warren

March 26, 2020 by Steve Leave a Comment

Everything Warren I’ve been exploring and writing about Connecticut since 2006. After a decade, I began compiling CTMQ guides for each town in the state. I plan on “completing” Warren CTMQ-style... as well as the other 168 towns, cities, and boroughs in Connecticut. After all, that is the ultimate goal of … [Read more...]

Warren’s Town Trails Intro

March 26, 2020 by Steve Leave a Comment

Warren's Town Trails Like you, I know nothing about Warren. This is how Warren likes it. I have been able to discern that there is this place called Warren's Woods that is owned by the town. There is a pond there with a pavilion and some picnic tables and stuff. Are there trails there? One trail? I have no … [Read more...]

Warren Land Trust Intro

March 26, 2020 by Steve Leave a Comment

Warren Land Trust Warren Warren is easily one of the least developed towns in all of Connecticut. You don't know anyone from Warren. Heck, you've never even been to Warren and likely have never even heard of Warren. No, no... that's Sherman you're thinking of, not Warren. I have this whole idea to write a … [Read more...]

Book Review: Traveler’s Guide to Western New England and the CT River Valley

March 24, 2020 by Steve Leave a Comment

No One Cares About the Gold Coast Anyway Traveler's Guide to Western New England and the CT River Valley Tim Mulligan, 1994 This review completely ignores the non-Connecticut portion of the book. It is absurd to review a travel guide from 1994 for all the obvious reasons. This book was published just before … [Read more...]

Westbrook’s Town Trails

March 16, 2020 by Steve Leave a Comment

Westbrook's Town Trails Westbrook is not Westport. Westbrook is not Westport. Now say it out loud. I don't know if anyone besides me needs this reminder, but I mix the two towns up all the time. I forget which one is the Gold Coast fancy Fairfield County one and which is the fairly undeveloped and rather quiet … [Read more...]

Cornwall’s Town Trails

March 13, 2020 by Steve Leave a Comment

Cornwall's Town Trails You don't go to Cornwall to hike and end up hiking the town's trail along the Housatonic River. You just don't. It's Cornwall, a land of dozens of fantastic hiking opportunities up mountains and through rolling hayfields with views of covered bridges and white churches. But you're … [Read more...]

Cornwall Conservation Trust Trails Intro

March 13, 2020 by Steve Leave a Comment

Cornwall Conservation Trust Cornwall While gathering up information for this page and its list of trails, I noticed that there is a mountain in Cornwall called Bloody Mountain. Intrigued, I researched the name and found only one reference from about a hundred years ago: "Bloody Mountain got its name from a battle … [Read more...]
