CTMQ’s Guide to Killingworth

May 8, 2018 by Steve 1 Comment

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

Killingworth’s Town Trails

May 8, 2018 by Steve Leave a Comment

Killingworth’s Town Trails What’s a killing worth? A lot to a bounty hunter assassin I suppose.

The Killingworth Land … [Read more...]

Killingworth Land Conservation Trust Intro

May 7, 2018 by Steve Leave a Comment

Killingworth Land Conservation Trust Killingworth is known to me as “the town I cut through to get to Madison.” Of course, Connecticut is often derided as the state one must cut through to get to New York or Boston. And that annoys me, so apologies to the fine folks of Killingworth. On those cut-throughs, I … [Read more...]

HLT: Laurel Marsh

Hardy and Laurel Harwinton Land Trust: Laurel MarshMay 6, 2018 I’m going to do a rare thing here in Harwinton. I hiked all seven currently trailed properties on one (rainy) morning, so I’m going to sort of serialize the write-ups. If for some reason you want to start at the beginning, go here, to the Kalmia … [Read more...]

Rocky Hill’s Town Trails

May 1, 2018 by Steve Leave a Comment

Rocky Hill’s Town Trails Rocky Hill sounds like a town that would provide lots of difficult hiking opportunities. Alas, Rocky Hill is neither rocky nor hilly. Go figure. In fact, the defining natural feature of Rocky Hill is the Connecticut River. But there was an active quarry here that was (and is) decidedly … [Read more...]
