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? I’d guess that Sleeping Giant is the third most visited state park in the state. Obviously Hammonassett and Rocky Neck get the most … [Read more...]

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.

Hey! CTMQ is IN a Museum!
I totally forgot about this; lost in the craziness that was the CTMQ site redesign. That's not to say I'm not proud of it. After almost 9 years of visiting almost 300 museums around Connecticut, I've finally made it in to a museum. In as in, "Part of a display." Yes, the Connecticut Historical Society … [Read more...]

The Sky's the Limit 2015 Hiking Challenge #2 Haystack Mountain State Park, Tower Norfolk May 24, 2015 My love for Norfolk is well-documented on this website.
