If you’re into the various wars that the US has been engaged in, even back to before the US even was a country, our state has a lot of stuff for you to check out. From the Pequot War nastiness to Revolutionary War sites and stuff, … [Read more...]
Concept of Freedom Trail: Trumbull
Nero Hawley Grave Riverside Cemetery, Daniel’s Farm Road Not that anyone will ever read this page, but I still feel the need to point out that of all the museums and trails and breweries and “stuff,” on this website, there are very few – if any – that I’ve planned to visit, yet haven’t – than this … [Read more...]
The Rock’s Rock
The Rock's Rock West Hartford If only Picozzi would give this rock to The Rock, it could be The Rock’s The Rock Rock. And that would totally rock. I’m not going to waste our time here. But I did read an interview with a former 106.9 WCCC DJ who was asked about this rock. It used to sit in front of their weird … [Read more...]
TSTL 2015 – Afterword
The Sky's the Limit. Really. It is. If you are the rare reader who has actually read through all 14 Sky’s the Limit posts, you are probably expecting some long-winded paean to my son(s). And while that would be apropos, I’m going to try to not do that. First, I’d like to thank the DEEP and the State of … [Read more...]

The Sky's the Limit 2015 Hiking Challenge #13 Groton Monument/Fort Griswold Monument Groton, July 11 , 2015 Holy crow! The penultimate TSTL Challenge point. It’s funny, I just spent a few minutes Googling for other TSTL blogs and stuff, and while I found a few, I couldn’t find any of completers. I’m sure there … [Read more...]
Groton Monument
Groton Monument/Fort Griswold Monument Fort Griswold State Park, Groton ~135' high This thing really should have a better name than “Groton Monument.” But then again, its big brother 400 miles south is just called the Washington Monument. I guess this is why I’m not in the monument naming game. But I am … [Read more...]
Greenwich Land Trust Intro
The Greenwich Land Trust Greenwich The mere existence of an organization such as the Greenwich Land Trust is pretty amazing when you stop to think about it. Seriously. Are there many suburban/exurban areas with land as expensive as it is in Greenwich? And I’m not just talking about Connecticut, I’m talking … [Read more...]
New Canaan Land Trust
The New Canaan Land Trust Oh how I love New Canaan. I often get asked where in Connecticut I’d most like to live. I almost always say, “in a mid-century modern in New Canaan.” I love them. AndI love the town’s proximity to New York City. I just can’t afford to live there. But I can afford to hike … [Read more...]
299. The New Britain Police Museum
A Real Hard Hittin’ Museum New Britain (Google Maps location) August 8, 2015 I can’t even pretend this is a real museum. Keep in mind who just wrote that. I’m the guy that accepts pretty much anything as a museum that calls itself a museum. I’ve been to some very, very tiny museums in Connecticut. … [Read more...]
