Aspetuck Land Trust Bridgeport, Easton, Weston, Fairfield, Wilton & Westport Knowing what I know of Easton and Weston, I would certainly expect there to be a large and organized land trust there. There is pretty much no development in those two towns – which is wholly by writ and design. The archaic bylaws of … [Read more...]
Tolland’s Town Trails
Tolland’s Town Trails Tolland has done me a favor and I love them for it. You see, when I first put this page together years ago, there were “competing” Tolland town trail resources. It appears that they’ve coalesced and now most of what I am calling Tolland’s Town Trails all fall under the Tolland Conservation … [Read more...]
Mill Pond Trail
Duck, Duck, Goose... Spiral Slide! Mill Pond Trail, Newington March 2014 Yes, I know. I know this is a somewhat ridiculous “trail” and to have its own page on CTMQ is a bit silly. Don’t I have enough to write about already? Must I bother with a little walk around a pond in Newington? Yes and yes. But once … [Read more...]
Imagine Nation
If I Ruled the World… Imagine That Imagine Nation Children's Museum, Bristol (Google Maps location) March 7, 2014 Post pandemic, Imagine Nation is no longer a self-guided museum. It is now an instructor-led, appointment only type of place. It still bills itself as a museum however. Everyone is certainly … [Read more...]
Campbell Falls State Park
Campbell Falls State Park Norfolk April 19, 2014 Phew. This is hard work. I’ve had a page about Campbell Falls for several years up on CTMQ, but it always bothered me. I visited this place in 2010 with my older son Damian and we merely parked and made the quick .4 mile round-trip walk down to the highlight of … [Read more...]
Glastonbury’s Town Trails
Glastonbury's Town Trails My post-college, pre-Hoang girlfriend was from Glastonbury. I recall checking out Cotton Hollow with her once and thinking, whoa, this is pretty cool. Right here in Glastonbury. I would never have thought such a thing existed here. As she stumbled down the ravine in her improper footwear, … [Read more...]
Norfolk Land Trust Intro
Norfolk Land Trust Trails Norfolk I love Norfolk. Love it silly. Of all the northwestern towns that I love, Norfolk is the only one other than Salisbury with a sort of "downtown" worth remarking upon. The iconic Infinity Theater, an incredibly beautiful library, and some Yale properties everyone should see at least … [Read more...]
KLT: Hollister and Whitehouse Family Nature Preserves
HOLLA-ster Hollister and Whitehouse Family Nature Preserves April 5, 2014 I could get used to this. Short drives, excited sons, cool hikes of perfect (for them) lengths. Perfect in the sense that it exhausts them, but don’t mentally or physically damage them. By my figuring, I can do this pretty much every … [Read more...]
Kongscut Land Trust Intro
Kongscut Land Trust Trails Glastonbury Kongscut is certainly one of the most interesting land trust names in the state. It certainly doesn't mean anything to anyone who doesn't know offhand that it comes from a Native American Indian woes meaning "place of wild goose". Furthermore, the name was chosen because at … [Read more...]
Thorncrest Farm and Milk House Chocolates
OMGoshen Thorncrest Farm and Milk House Chocolates, Goshen March 16, 2014 Since our initial visit, we've sort of made Thorncrest our "special" chocolate place. Valentine's Days, anniversaries, "It's Saturday and we're near Goshen So We Might As Well Go to Thorncrest Days..." It's still remote, the salesroom … [Read more...]
