Good Times Evans Family Meadows, Bloomfield November 2026 This is a Traprock Ridge Land Conservancy Property. Life is funny. I was on my 2025 CTMQ hiatus, necessitated by my career and my son's activities. I had just simply stopped doing "CTMQ stuff" for a while, and I was enjoying it. I spent several … [Read more...]

Harvey Preserve
I Imagined Seeing a Rabbit Harvey Preserve, Chaplin December 2025 This is a Joshua's Trust property. If you don't get the rabbit reference(s), just ignore it. They don't mean anything. I enjoy hiking in the winter. I really do. No bugs, not sweat in the eyes, fewer ticks... but even I, an avowed winter lover, … [Read more...]
Tower Hill Preserve
Cabin Fever Tower Hill Preserve, Chaplin December 2025 This is a Joshua's Trust property. I walked this trail on a Monday during Christmas week. So imagine my surprise pulling into the parking area and finding two other cars there. In Chaplin! Wonderful! I parked and since this is a 1.3 mile relatively flat … [Read more...]
Rankin Preserve
I Am Not Rankin' on This Place! Rankin Preserve, Ashford January 2017 & December 2025 This is a Joshua's Trust property. I first came here in 2017 before the loop trail existed, so I returned in 2025.

Brainerd Quarry Preserve
A Flipping Success Brainerd Quarry Preserve, Haddam October 2024 This is a Middlesex Land Trust property. This is the 3,254th page I've published on CTMQ and I believe it's the very first time I've done a specific thing. I've stolen a punny title from someone else. In this case, something called the … [Read more...]
Wagner Woods & Hall farm
Nature Show Simsbury Land Trust's Wagner Woods, Simsbury September 2013 & November 2024 The Hall Farm parcel was added to Wagner Woods after I first published this page. I hiked the new parcel 11 years later. Wagner Woods I'll apologize up front. This is one of those pages that I put together for me and my … [Read more...]
Nipmuck Woods
Nipping up to Stafford to Tuck in the Woods Northern Connecticut Land Trust's Nipmuck Woods, Stafford November 2024 Here's a good example of the challenge of what I do with CTMQ. Although, in fairness, I do this to myself. I "completed" Stafford in 2017. It felt good. Granted, Stafford isn't exactly a bustling … [Read more...]
New Hartford Land Trust Trails
New Hartford Land Trust Trails When I started this website in 2006, it was just about museums. A couple years later, I added CFPA trails. And several years later I decided to tackle land trust (and other) trails. From 2006 until 2022 or so, there were no New Hartford Land Trust trails. Which is crazy, since New … [Read more...]
Border Woods
Bordering on Madness New Roxbury Land Trust's Border Woods, Woodstock November 2024 None of the New Roxbury Land Trust properties are officially trailed. The last time I experienced a New Roxbury Land Trust property, I wrote: Look, I hear you. When did I start writing about untrailed and admittedly … [Read more...]
