Clamping Down on This Roadfood List Clamp's Hamburger Stand, New Milford Clamp’s! I did it! For years I tried to get to this place on trips out “west”. It takes pride in not being open very much and (previously) being somewhat secretive about its location. This makes no sense, of course, but that's how they … [Read more...]
TSTL’15.10: West Rock Ridge State Park
The Sky's the Limit 2015 Hiking Challenge #10 West Rock Ridge State Park Overlook New Haven, June 27, 2015 Phew! After the epic (man, how much do I hate that word) previous TSTL Challenge hike with Damian out in Kent, this simple drive up was a welcome and easy respite.

TSTL’15.9: Macedonia Brook State Park
The Sky's the Limit 2015 Hiking Challenge #9 Macedonia Brook State Park/Cobble Mountain Kent, June 25, 2015 2019 Update: This page is so bittersweet for me.

Hot Dogs at Top Dog
Top of Da Food Chain! Top Dog, Portland We have arrived at the very last and final hot dog on the Sterns' Roadfood "Eat Before it's too Late" list. There are sixteen hot dogs on the list.

The Sky's the Limit 2015 Hiking Challenge #8 Lover’s Leap State Park Overlook New Milford, June 25, 2015 Past the TSTL Challenge halfway point and it’s all downhill from here! (Not really.

TSTL’15.7: Sleeping Giant SP Tower
The Sky's the Limit 2015 Hiking Challenge #7 Sleeping Giant Tower (Sleeping Giant State Park) Hamden, June 23, 2015 I suppose I could look this up, but who wants to do that?

The Sky's the Limit 2015 Hiking Challenge #5 Split Rock Vista (Hurd State Park), East Hampton June 2015 Finally! Five TSTL Challenge points into this thing, I got to go to one that I have never written about in some way before. In fact, even though I’d been to Hurd State Park a few times before, I don’t think I’d … [Read more...]
TSTL’15.4: Southford Falls State Park
The Sky's the Limit 2015 Hiking Challenge #4 Southford Falls State Park Watchtower Southbury May 30, 2015 Yes, another full family adventure!

TSTL’15.3: Dennis Hill
The Sky's the Limit 2015 Hiking Challenge #3 Dennis Hill State Park, Pavilion Overlook Norfolk May 24, 2015 There are other CTMQ pages about Dennis Hill (a subsequent visit with the family and one about the former observation deck.)
