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

Manchester’s Town Trails Intro
Manchester's Town Trails Man. You people have no idea. For whatever reason, compiling Manchester's trails has been a very, very difficult task.

Darling Wildlife Sanctuary
My Little Darlings Darling Wildlife Sanctuary November 2016 I learned of this little sanctuary via the Simsbury Land Trust 2016 Walk Book. But it’s not a Simsbury Land Trust property.
