Bethany Land Trust Trails
Bethany & Beacon Falls
Connecticut has three towns with fairly common female names. The interesting thing about this is that each town bearing a feminine name sort of matches the type of woman I think about when I picture a woman with that name.
Madison: Wealthy, white, yuppie, long straight hair, uppity.
Sharon: Older, stodgy, uptight, woodsy.
Bethany: Wallflower, plain, quiet, never know where she is, exactly.

Don’t bother arguing my comparisons. It’s just science. Although maybe my walks through Bethany will change my perception a bit. Betany Land Trust has improved their website and trails so much since I started this website; it’s truly incredible. They have some fantastic properties – and some ludicrous ones they’ve trailed, so let’s get to it.
