Windham High Peak, 3524 Feet October 8, 2010 10.4 miles solo via Black Dome Range, Escarpment and Batavia Kill Trails # 34 on the Catskills 3500 List It had been far, far too long since I last hiked in the Catskills. I really should commit to getting out here at least twice per year. Hoang is cool about it … [Read more...]
Tremaine Gallery at the Hotchkiss School
Beautiful Litchfield County Never Looked So Beautiful Salisbury (Google Maps location) October 2010 I love Salisbury. In fact, I wouldn’t mind living up there at all. Oh sure, it’s pretentious and everyone drives Volvos and Audis, but that’s no different from where I live now in West Hartford. Salisbury is just … [Read more...]
Sherwood Island State Park Intro
Sherwood Island State Park Westport I know it says "intro" above, but this page is more of an "intro and long-winded history" of Sherwood Island State Park. And that's fine, right? If you're looking for something specific though, perhaps these other pages I wrote will help: Sherwood Island Trails Sherwood … [Read more...]
Haystack Mountain State Park
Haystack Mountain State Park Norfolk October 2010 [There are other Haystack Mountain pages if you're interested in more.] One way in which I may differ from you: After a somewhat difficult hike out in the Catskills and a two-plus hour drive back towards home, I decided on a whim to climb another mountain. Why … [Read more...]
Holley-Williams House Museum (Closed)
Holley Crap, It’s Closed Salisbury The worst part about this closure is that it may have taken out not just the one historic house museum, but also the random Salisbury Cannon Museum which I believe was housed at the same spot. I hold out hope that the Cannon Museum will reappear elsewhere in town, as Salisbury’s … [Read more...]
175. Sherwood Island State Park Nature Center
Wanna Go to the Nature Center? I Sher Wood! Westport (Google Maps location) July 18, 2010 CTMQ's Sherwood Island State Park Intro I purposely waited until autumn to write about Sherwood Island. I figure that anyone looking for a very clean, uncrowded and very pretty beach in Connecticut won’t find this now … [Read more...]
The Golden Age of Trucking Museum (Closed)
The Golden Age… Those Were the Days… Middlebury July 10, 2010 CT Museum Visit #173, just before it closed in July of 2010. This is a terrible writing assignment. What should be a fun museum report is now a eulogy. Worse, I knew I’d be faced with this situation even before I visited the Golden Age of … [Read more...]
CT High School Coaches Assoc. Hall of Fame
I waited 5 years for this?! Hartford (Google Maps location) August 14, 2010 For the first time in 184 museums I'm at a loss for words. I really have nothing to say about the Connecticut High School Coaches Hall of Fame. Though shouldn't it be "Coaches'?" It's their Hall of Fame, right? But as you'll see in … [Read more...]
URR Trail: Wilton
The Ovals 36 Seeley Road This house is HUGE - but this is the best I could do for a picture, as it's a private residence. From Wilton's town website: During the years prior to the Civil War, the antislavery movement was strong in town, and Wilton served as one of the stops on the Underground Railroad, a … [Read more...]
Ice Cream at Dr. Mike’s (Bethel)
Doctor, Doctor, Gimme the Ice Cream (Pt 2) Dr. Mike's, Bethel September 2010 (Don’t expect too much different here from the other Dr. Mike’s entry if you’ve read that one - from our visit to their Monroe location.) I thought it was a good idea to hit up both Dr. Mike’s locations. My reasoning was simple: … [Read more...]
