Middlebury Land Trust Middlebury What’s up, Middlebury? How are you doing? Good? Good. Hey, I have a suggestion. I think there are some decent trails in town, but finding them online has been quite difficult. Your town website is useless, so my Middlebury Town Trail page is... sparse. Perhaps that reflects … [Read more...]
Middlebury’s Town Trails
Middlebury’s Town Trails I can’t pretend (at the time of this writing) that this page is the full list of Middlebury Town Trailage. After doing a hundred of these types of intro pages on CTMQ, Middlebury is proving to be as difficult as any. But I accept the challenge – and I look to you, fair Middleburyites, … [Read more...]
Mountain Laurel Sanctuary
Peak Failage Mountain Laurel Sanctuary, Nipmuck State Forest, Union July 2018 On New Years Eve Day in 2016, I visited this place with my son Calvin. Who visits a Mountain Laurel Sanctuary in the dead of winter? We do... but we merely drove through it then to attain the all-important highest point in Windham … [Read more...]
Holcomb Farm (West)
Woods in Woods Holcomb Farm (West), Granby April 2018 It's always fun when three generations of Woods can get out into the woods together. (My last name is Wood.) Such was the case in early April 2018 when my parents were visiting for Calvin's 7th birthday. I'm sure Granddad wanted nothing more than to hike a few … [Read more...]
CTMQ’s Guide to Old Saybrook
Everything Old Saybrook 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” Old Saybrook CTMQ-style... as well as the other 168 towns, cities, and boroughs in Connecticut. That is the ultimate goal of CTMQ. … [Read more...]
Massive Gallery of CT Vanity Plates
5TUP1D Since I find myself driving all over the state, I’m bound to come across plenty of dumb, funny, confusing, and yes, sexual vanity plates. This is the exceedingly rare page on CTMQ that is crowdsourced. So feel free to help out. After I posted this, I was alerted by a reader to his Flickr page with over … [Read more...]
384. Woodbury Pewter Museum
Pew! Pew! Woodbury, (Google Maps location) June 2, 2018 I read pretty much anything and everything having to do with anything in Connecticut. That is pretty much my answer to the oft-asked question, “Steve, how do you create your thorough lists?” I don’t remember where I read that Woodbury Pewter calls a … [Read more...]
Old Saybrook’s Town Trails Intro
Old Saybrook’s Town Trails Good old Old Saybrook. Not exactly the first town one thinks of when thinking of going for a hike in Connecticut. My guess is that they think about the little borough of Fenwick and all the massive and beautiful “summer cottages” of 19th century magnates... and Katherine Hepburn. But … [Read more...]
CTMQ’s Guide to Eastford
Everything Eastford 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” Eastford CTMQ-style... as well as the other 168 towns, cities, and boroughs in Connecticut. That is the ultimate goal of CTMQ. If … [Read more...]
Eastford’s Town Trails
Eastford’s Town Trails Eastford is remote and rural and barely populated. A huge percentage of the town’s square mileage is taken up by the Natchaug State Forest. (Through which courses the CFPA’s Natchaug Trail). Another chunk of forest is owned by Yale - which I've included here... just because. This still … [Read more...]
