The Putnam River & Mill Heritage Trails
Putnamming One Foot in Front of the Other The Putnam River Mill Heritage & River Trails August 13, 2017 No, I didn’t walk the full length of either of these trails. Not that they aren’t cool and interesting. They just aren’t the types of trails I seek to fully complete. But since Putnam is devoid of any … [Read more...]
Hastings Farm
Make Haste! Hastings Farm, Suffield Multiple visits I’ve been happily popping along the Connecticut Cheese Trail for a decade now. I must admit that I’m surprised that no such official trail yet exists. After all, everyone loves cheese. And baby cows. I first found Hastings farm in 2013 and was very … [Read more...]
Putnam DMV
Weird DMV Office Putnam You may question the inclusion of Putnam’s Department of Motor Vehicles satellite office on the esteemed pages of CTMQ. But c’mon. How could I not memorialize this anti-edifice here? I’m fascinated by it. You see, it’s a trailer. An important state of Connecticut office … [Read more...]
Stafford Motor Speedway
The Finish Line! Stafford Motor Speedway, Stafford August 11, 2017 A couple things to preface this page: 1. I had a really fun time at the Stafford Motor Speedway. 2. This was, in part, due to the fact that it marked my final visit in Stafford. I've completely completed the town! That’s right, … [Read more...]
Scantic River State Park Intro
Scantic River State Park Enfield, Somers, East Windsor Connecticut’s state forests are often parceled out over many acres in many towns. But our state parks are, for the most part, contiguous with themselves. If that makes sense. It probably doesn’t, but you know what I mean. The Scantic River State Park is … [Read more...]
Horse Ridge Cellars
Not Horsin' Around Horse Ridge Cellars, Stafford July 2017 Since this site is mostly read by Connecticutters, I'll assume most of you are familiar with Horse Ridge Cellars. After all, Connecticut is "the richest state in the country," and Fairfield County is one of "the richest counties in America." Spoiler … [Read more...]
Fire & Ice Festival
Melting Superlatives Putnam February 11, 2017 When Putnam was mentioned as one of the towns I was close to completing, someone commented on the CTMQ facebook page that I simply must get out there for the town’s annual Fire & Ice Festival. I was initially skeptical, as I don’t really go to every town … [Read more...]
Southern Star Covered Bridge
The Star of Suffield Southern Star Covered Bridge, Suffield May 2017 Every now and then I write a throwaway post on CTMQ. This is one such post. There is nothing to visit here. You really aren’t supposed to drive through this bridge (I didn’t), and really, who cares? It’s just an ornamental 42-foot long … [Read more...]
Wickham Park
Chairman of the Bored Wickham Park, Manchester May 2017 I've no idea when you're reading this... or if you're even reading it. But if you're not, why am I talking about you? You're a bum who probably likes Chicago deep dish pizza and wears Crocs. Jerk. For the rest of you erudite and astute members of society, … [Read more...]
