Four Franklin Fails

May 15, 2019 by Steve 4 Comments

Lots of F's Devil's Den v.Franklin, Rachel's Hut, Giant's Grave, Cushman Farms Trail Franklin As I was wrapping up my "completion" of Franklin, I was determined to find a few things that had eluded me for years. Unfortunately, for different reasons, I failed finding all four. But since I'm not convinced that none … [Read more...]

Bethlehem’s Town Trails

May 13, 2019 by Steve Leave a Comment

Bethlehem's Town Trails O' Little Town of Bethlehem... with o'little number of trailed properties to hike. For years this page existed with no trails listed, but I've since become aware of a couple little farm trails to explore. There may be more, I don't know.

CTMQ’s Guide to Ledyard

May 13, 2019 by Steve Leave a Comment

Everything Ledyard 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” Ledyard CTMQ-style... as well as the other 168 towns, cities, and boroughs in Connecticut. That is the ultimate goal of CTMQ. If … [Read more...]

Groton Open Space Association Trails

May 13, 2019 by Steve Leave a Comment

Groton Open Space Association Trails Groton & Ledyard GOSA seems to operate in that netherworld between land trusts and town trails. There are many of these organizations in the state and they can get confusing. I can't pretend that I have it all figured out, but I try. All I really care about is that they maintain … [Read more...]

Book Review: Connecticut Beer

May 10, 2019 by Steve 1 Comment

From Nutmeg Beer to Beer with Nutmeg Connecticut Beer; A History of Nutmeg State Brewing By Will Siss Reading this book in 2019 is a surreal experience.

Energize CT Center (Closed)

May 8, 2019 by Steve Leave a Comment

Workin' It North Haven (Google Maps location) April 2019 This place closed in 2020. Not every museum in Connecticut presents itself upfront as a museum.
