Devil’s Meditation, Middlebury
I love this so much. As I was putting together my Guide to Middlebury, I searched for information online about this "Devil's Meditation" place I had seen on a list somewhere a decade ago. And thankfully, I stumbled upon "chescrowel's" Flickr stream. A man who tells it like it is, and with a flair that reminds me … [Read more...]
Ledge Road Connector Trail
Oh Boy. Ledge Road Connector Trail & Boy Rock/Great Stone Face Sunset Rock State Park, Plainville July 2018 Cutting to the chase - the purpose of this page's existence really has nothing to do with the trail of the title.

Peak Failage Mountain Laurel Sanctuary, Nipmuck State Forest, Union July 2018 On New Years Eve Day in 2016, I visited this place with my son Calvin.

Massive Gallery of CT Vanity Plates
5TUP1D Since I find myself driving all over the state, I’m bound to come across plenty of dumb, funny, confusing, and yes, sexual vanity plates. This is the exceedingly rare page on CTMQ that is crowdsourced. So feel free to help out. After I posted this, I was alerted by a reader to his Flickr page with over … [Read more...]
Harwinton: Various & Sundry
Harwinton's Loose Ends June 2018 As I make my way through everything there is to do in Connecticut, I am faced with the fact that there are often things in towns that don't warrant their own CTMQ page but should still be highlighted. This is Harwinton: Various and Sundry. Harwinton's Unique Name The Sign … [Read more...]
Bunnell’s & Burlington Falls
A Little Burly, Bro Bunnell’s/Burlington Falls, Burlington June 2018 I don’t take pleasure in breaking the law. I’ve very rarely done so in my life and when I have, I’m talking about silly stuff like getting to these falls.
