Cusgutter Falls
Aw, Cuss. Cusgutter Falls, Bristol March 2008 For a longer description of the hike on the Cascade and other Tunxis Regional Trails in Southington and Bristol, you can leave and go here. Aw, cuss...

Gorge Cascade Falls
I Saw a Gorge At Least Gorge Cascade Falls, Hamden July 2011 For a longer description of the hike on the Red Circle Trail at Sleeping Giant, go here.

Spruce Glen Falls
Fall Away From the Highway Spruce Glen Falls, Wallingford January 3, 2016 When I found my way to the end of an industrial road in Wallingford and set out on my hike around the Orchard-Spruce Glen land trust property, I had no idea people would actually care.

Fresh as a Fetid Swamp Fresh Meadows, .5 mile, Wallingford Land Trust January 10, 2015 Do not hike this hike. Seriously. Don't. Now, I'm a guy who hikes any hike anywhere.

WLT: Orchard and Spruce Glen
Not Bad. Could be Spruced up a Bit Orchard and Spruce Glen, ~2 miles, Wallingford Land Trust January 10, 2015 On the last day of a very long Christmas break with my children, I had to get out of the house.

Wallingford Land Trust Intro
Wallingford Land Trust Wallingford Before I began this website all those years ago, I had a fairly low opinion of Wallingford. Then a couple things happened: I visited Gouveia Vineyards and hiked the Mattabesett Trail east of I-91. Both are beautiful and have a definite remote feel. In Wallingford. My … [Read more...]
Grace Farms
Graceful Grace Farms New Canaan This is the first post I'm writing in 2016. Perhaps it will grant me the grace and peace I need to continue forward in a kind and forgiving manner.
