Falls Along Westledge Trail Unnamed/Northgate Falls, Simsbury October 2008 These falls are included in the new (2013) Connecticut Waterfalls guidebook, so I’m adding this page several years after visiting. And since I’m lazy, I’m not going to go find the CD that contains the original pictures to give you the … [Read more...]
Burlington Land Trust Intro
Burlington Land Trust Burlington Imagine one of those commercials or lame sitcom scenes where a person at the register is the 1,000,000th customer or whatever and a bunch of balloons are dropping and sirens blaring in celebration. Because that’s you right now. You’re the winner! Congratulations! You, … [Read more...]
Burlington’s Town Trails
Burlington's Town Trails I love Burlington hiking. There is a lot of it. Much of it great. But for years, it all seemed to be CFPA or Nature Conservancy or state land trails. And then... voila! The town purchased a beautiful property and the local land trust helped clear some trails and now we have some content to … [Read more...]
Wintergreen Falls
It's Winter, but not Green Wintergreen Falls, New Haven January 17, 2014 Another day out in Connecticut's most interesting city with the boys... which included the two trails at West Rock Nature Center. Note: This is a wholly different place than West Rock Ridge State Park. The State Park has had its own … [Read more...]
West Rock Nature Center Trails
"C'mon D!" West Rock Nature Center, New Haven January 18, 2014 If you're poked around this site a bit more than the average visitor, you may know that I am drawn to quirky and odd things that seem incongruous to me. I've written here and there about the various oddities in and around West Rock Park. Things … [Read more...]
Fisher Farm Open Space
Fisher Farm Open Space July 1, 2010 My 2010 advice: Don’t bother. Unless you are 100% immune to poison ivy and get your jollies hiking through pancake-flat meadows and woods, there’s really not too much on offer here. Perhaps it’s better in the fall, I don’t know. I hiked this property on a steamy July 1st … [Read more...]
Avon’s Town Trails
Avon's Town Trails I wonder what it’s like to be an Avon lady in Avon. Do they still drive the pink cars? I haven’t seen one in forever. Quite a mystery. Also a mystery? Figuring out the subtle differences between town owned land (with trails) and Land Trust land (with trails). Avon sort of opened … [Read more...]
Newington’s Town Trails
Newington's Town Trails No one ever thinks about Newington. Not even me, even though I'm often as close as two minutes away from it when I am in my own town of West Hartford. Well, that used to be me, until the town voted for one Mr. Stephen Woods for mayor in 2012. Although he has an extra 's' on his name, I still … [Read more...]
Farmington’s Town Trails
Farmington's Town Trails I spend far too much time on these "town trail intro" pages. They really don't serve much purpose for anyone other than me. After all, who understands the vagaries of "town trails" vs. similar introduction pages for the local land trust trails (among others)? But the real issue is the … [Read more...]
Mystic Shagbark Hickory Syrup
Shag(bark) Baby… Mystic Shagbark Hickory Syrup Purchased at BF Clyde's I know right? What is this page doing here? This isn't like anything else on this massive website. Heck if I know how to write about syrup. Or food of any sort. To me, it's just syrup. But I have this section about the "unique and … [Read more...]
