Great Pond Preserve

January 27, 2022 by Steve Leave a Comment

Just Great Great Pond Preserve, Glastonbury December 2015 Great Pond indeed. You know what's great? Doing a meticulous scroll through old pictures on my old computer before backing them up and -- never mind all that. I'm sitting here in 2022 and just came across this set of pictures from a hike at Great Pond … [Read more...]

North Meadow Road

January 26, 2022 by Steve Leave a Comment

It Starts and Ends with Guns North Meadow Road, Windsor I'll admit it; I'm a bit confused about this page. This short half-paved road in Windsor is supposed to be important.

Manchester Field and Woods

January 24, 2022 by Steve Leave a Comment

Not in Manchester, Not in Roxbury New Roxbury Land Trust's Manchester Field and Woods, Union December 2021 None of the New Roxbury Land Trust properties are officially trailed. Look, I hear you. When did I start writing about untrailed and admittedly unexciting properties? The answer is... today. And I don't … [Read more...]

East Hartford Brewing Group

January 21, 2022 by Steve Leave a Comment

Ten Pennies For Your Thoughts East Hartford Brewing Group, East Hartford December 2021 I waffled and wavered far longer than you'd want to believe on how best to present this page. Should I just write an addendum to my original Olde Burnside Brewing page? Or create a whole new page? Well, now you have the … [Read more...]

Mattatuck State Forest

Water Trails

January 19, 2022 by Steve Leave a Comment

Connecticut's Canoe & Kayak Water Trails This page will likely never be complete... nor completed. I'm not yet sold on whether or not I'll pursue this list myself, but here it is. (The logistics of doing these almost requires two people, which is problematic for me.) If you know of missing trails, please let me … [Read more...]
