Scant "Falls" Scantic Rapids, Enfield November 19, 2016 Visiting waterfalls in late 2016 is totally unfail to the falls. After all, we are in the midst of a two year drought situation. (The creek behind my house has been dry since May.) However, something tells me that the Scantic rapids wouldn't qualify … [Read more...]
Baker’s Cave
"D'Oh! Another Fake Cave” Baker's Cave, East Lyme August 2016 Tuesday in August, no camp/school/activities for the boys. What to do, what to do... I didn't really know as I buckled them into the car and headed south. The forecast called for rain, and lots of it. So I thought we'd go to Rocky Neck State Park … [Read more...]
Horizon Wings Raptor Rehab Center
”Take... These Broken Wings” Ashford (Google Maps location) April 23, 2016 No, this isn¹t a museum and no, they don¹t call themselves one. But I am, for the sake of continuity on CTMQ. Horizon Wings isn't much different than any of the Audubon Society centers I lump in as museums. The worst part about this is … [Read more...]
Clark Creek Falls
I Love Secret Falls Clark Creek Falls, Haddam January 16, 2016 I’ve written many times over the years that, due to Connecticut’s relative lack of things like “real” caves and impressive waterfalls, our guidebooks and websites highlight some rather weak fake caves and piddling falls. (And, as a result, I … [Read more...]
Van Otterloo Preserve
Doin' the ol' Van Otterloop Van Otterloo Preserve, ~.5 mile, Bloomfield February 2016 There exists - I swear - a dedicated group of people who are more or less familiar with all these tiny little properties with very limited visitation. They are some of my best readers in that they follow me on both Twitter (RIP … [Read more...]
Mystic Aquarium
Lion(fish) and Tiger(sharks), Oh My! Mystic section of Stonington (Google Maps Location) October 11, 2007, etc. I've been to the Aquarium a few times since the initial visit that most of this page is based upon - and have gained a greater appreciation for it over the years. In 2016, I fixed up the pictures here a … [Read more...]
Cusgutter Falls
Aw, Cuss. Cusgutter Falls, Bristol March 2008 For a longer description of the hike on the Cascade and other Tunxis Regional Trails in Southington and Bristol, you can leave and go here. Aw, cuss... I’m writing up these falls in 2016. I hiked past them nearly eight years ago. If you’ve been following CTMQ for a … [Read more...]
Gorge Cascade Falls
I Saw a Gorge At Least Gorge Cascade Falls, Hamden July 2011 For a longer description of the hike on the Red Circle Trail at Sleeping Giant, go here. It's a bit silly of me to write up these falls with only my one visit to them under my belt. For the simple reason that my visit came in the middle of a dry … [Read more...]
Spruce Glen Falls
Fall Away From the Highway Spruce Glen Falls, Wallingford January 3, 2016 When I found my way to the end of an industrial road in Wallingford and set out on my hike around the Orchard-Spruce Glen land trust property, I had no idea people would actually care. I can never predict which things I write about … [Read more...]
The Rock’s Rock
The Rock's Rock West Hartford If only Picozzi would give this rock to The Rock, it could be The Rock’s The Rock Rock. And that would totally rock. I’m not going to waste our time here. But I did read an interview with a former 106.9 WCCC DJ who was asked about this rock. It used to sit in front of their weird … [Read more...]
