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...]

Wintonbury Flying Club
Fly me to the Moon Wintonbury Flying Club Fly-In, Bloomfield September 2015 You can take a nice hike around this place too. I won't pretend for one second to understand the first thing about the world of giant radio controlled airplanes. All I know is that a bunch of people love this hobby, some of the planes … [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.

Enders Island
This Is It: The Enders Enders Island, Mystic May 16, 2015 Every once in a while I'm tasked with writing a page that I find difficult to write for reasons that may surprise you.

Lion(fish) and Tiger(sharks), Oh My!

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.

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...]
Grace Farms
Graceful Grace Farms New Canaan This is the first post I'm writing in 2016. Perhaps it will grant me the grace and peace I need to continue forward in a kind and forgiving manner. But most likely not. (I am posting larger pictures than ever before on CTMQ. Enjoy!) I pulled off the Merritt after our … [Read more...]
