Fort Griswold Battlefield State Park Groton Y’know, Connecticut is pretty cool. If you’re into the various wars that the US has been engaged in, even back to before the US even was a country, our state has a lot of stuff for you to check out. From the Pequot War nastiness to Revolutionary War sites and stuff, … [Read more...]

Concept of Freedom Trail: Trumbull
Nero Hawley Grave Riverside Cemetery, Daniel’s Farm Road Not that anyone will ever read this page, but I still feel the need to point out that of all the museums and trails and breweries and “stuff,” on this website, there are very few – if any – that I’ve planned to visit, yet haven’t – than this … [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...]
Groton Monument
Groton Monument/Fort Griswold Monument Fort Griswold State Park, Groton ~135' high This thing really should have a better name than “Groton Monument.” But then again, its big brother 400 miles south is just called the Washington Monument. I guess this is why I’m not in the monument naming game. But I am … [Read more...]
Soapstone Mountain Tower
Clean Views Soapstone Mountain Tower, Somers Multiple Visits I've been to this tower several times. including once as part of the DEEP's 2015 "Sky's The Limit Challenge" with my sons. The state replaced the unsafe version in 2018. This page will tell the tower's story across my visits. 2010 My first … [Read more...]
The Sky’s the Limit 2015 Hiking Challenge
This is DEEP, man Connecticut State Parks “The Sky’s the Limit” 2015 Hiking Challenge Jump down to the climbs If I was an egomaniac, I'd write three paragraphs on how I influenced the state to create this challenge. After all, I've written over and over for years that things like this are fun and get people off … [Read more...]
Leatherman’s Cave via Park Road
"'Leathahman' Slept in Here, WHAT?!” Leatherman's Cave via Park Road, Watertown December 13, 2014 This page will not spend too much time getting into the whole Leatherman thing. That was done over here, on a page about another nearby Leatherman’s Cave. I have no idea which cave was used more by the … [Read more...]
A. Frederick Oberlin Bridge
Truss Me, This Bridge is Cool A. Frederick Oberlin Bridge at the Eli Whitney Museum December 6, 2014 This bridge was my introduction to the Eli Whitney Museum and the whole surrounding area at the Hamden/New Haven border. I brought my family to the museum wholly unaware of all the “stuff” around it. Lake Whitney, … [Read more...]
Indian Council Caves
No Indians and Not Caves Indian Council Caves, Barkhamsted October 20, 2013 I’m not going to get into our fine state’s habit of naming boulder jumbles and overhanging cliffs “caves.” It’s what we do and what we’ve always done and we’re gonna keep doing it, goshdarnit. So with that, no, these caves are not caves. … [Read more...]
Cascades Near Balance Rock Road
No, Really, It's Called "Cascades Near Balance Rock Road" Hartland October 2013 Hoo boy, this entry is a bit of a stretch. I’m not sure anyone would qualify these cascades as being worthy of inclusion in a book about Connecticut’s waterfalls, but here they are. Granted, I’m sure they are more impressive after … [Read more...]
