CTMQ’s Guide to Ellington

March 3, 2019 by Steve 3 Comments

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

Ellington’s Town Trails

March 3, 2019 by Steve Leave a Comment

Ellington's Town Trails It's cool that the town of Ellington has seen to it to have some trails for humans to hike. There is always concern in town that the cows take precedence over people. And while there are tons of cow trails around Ellington, there are also plenty of people trails too. Yes, this is the … [Read more...]

Sprague’s Town Trail Intro

March 2, 2019 by Steve Leave a Comment

Sprague's Town Trails Sprague I'm a bit vague on Sprague. It doesn't help that nowhere in Sprague do they refer to their town as Sprague. It's Baltic, Hanover, or Versailles. Which in Sprague is pronounced "ver-sales." Which has bothered me since I learned of it decades ago. This picture is what Sprague … [Read more...]

Sharon Land Trust Intro

March 2, 2019 by Steve Leave a Comment

Sharon Land Trust Trails Sharon There is much natural beauty in Sharon. You can assume that simply because the Appalachian Trail runs through it for a few miles, sure, but you should also be aware of this very active land trust (as well as others that have trailed land in town). It seems that everybody here in … [Read more...]

Clinton Land Conservation Trust Intro

February 21, 2019 by Steve 1 Comment

Clinton Land Conservation Trust Trails Clinton The longest walk most people take in Clinton is probably from one end of the outlet stores to the other. Not us though... the CTMQ-types who'd rather walk in the woods. I am pleased to see that Clinton has some woods in which to walk. So walk the Clinton woods we … [Read more...]
