Windsor’s Town Trails
Windsor’s Town Trails Windsor is home to one of the state's worst state parks as well as one of the state's coolest state scenic reserve area things.

Hubble Tower
“I Can See The Whole Universe From Here!” Hubble Tower (Private), Burlington November 2018 I really wish I could remember how I found this thing.

Huntington State Park Bears!
... And Wolves Too Anna Hyatt Huntington Sculptures Redding For the uninitiated, I have been a big Stephen Colbert fan for many, many years. (I’ll admit, I no longer watch him now that he’s on CBS, but I was a devotee of his Comedy Central show.) He had a lot of recurring jokes, one of which centered around bears. … [Read more...]
