I've been creating CTMQ for 9 years. I've never had a single advertisement, nor have I wanted any. My audience grew along with my credibility, such as it is. I work closely with the non-profit Smith-Magenis Syndrome Research Foundation and decided that perhaps, if I can actually make a few bucks from CTMQ, it would … [Read more...]
CT Hops for Hope Brewfest!
There are a lot of good things going on in CTMQ-land in 2015. This here brand new site redesign, talks with publishing houses, some good press, my 300th CT museum visit...

Welcome to the New CTMQ
Welcome to the new CTMQ. Don't be scared. I’ll try to keep this as brief as I can. A complete overhaul of the site was needed ever since mobile devices came onto the scene. The old site used a custom template designed in 2006. It was a beautiful thing back then. I came to love it and the way I built it. It was … [Read more...]
Burlington Hiking Challenges
Master of Burlington's Domain Burlington Trail Master/Vertical Mile/Century Club Programs I'm going to try my best to retrofit an old page into a new one. Bear with me.

TSTL’15.1: Talcott Mountain
The Sky's the Limit 2015 Hiking Challenge #1 Talcott Mountain State Park, Heublein Tower Simsbury May 2, 2015 Here we go! I'm not sure I can complete this challenge with my sons, but I think I'm going to try. We started off with one of the more difficult climbs, so maybe that will motivate them. I told them that … [Read more...]
Madison Land Conservation Trust
Madison Land Conservation Trust Trails Madison Madison has a surprising number of trailed properties. It certainly helps that the local land trust is so active and (apparently) well-funded. The MLCT has a great website with excellent maps - two things that certainly make my task to "hike everything" much easier. … [Read more...]
Bozrah’s Town Trails
Bozrah’s Trails For whatever reasons – fair or unfair – I’ve picked on poor little Bozrah for years. It’s always my go-to town to point at and say, “I do everything there is to do in the state and one town in particular has literally nothing to do... and that’s Bozrah." The best part of that is that the … [Read more...]
