Snake/Turtle Rock (Marlborough)
I Like Turtles Turtle Rock, Marlborough February 2, 2008 This page came about simply because I convinced EdHill to get out of the car along the busy route 66 and stand on a painted roadside rock. I can't pretend that I expected him to actually do it, but he did, so here we are. Perhaps he was willing … [Read more...]

Abington Congregational Church

Section 9: Weather Or Not... We Hike Prattling Pond Road, Farmington to Reservoir # 6, West Hartford, 6.1 Miles October 12, 2007 Through the years, Hoang and I have generally been fortunate weather-wise on our hikes.
