Roxbury Land Trust Intro

May 25, 2018 by Steve Leave a Comment

Roxbury Land Trust New Milford, Roxbury, & Woodbury I am in my 12th year of writing CTMQ and am just getting around to putting a page together for the Roxbury Land Trust. Now, you may be thinking, “but Steve, my man, you’re but one person. And this is Roxbury we’re talking about. Give yourself a break.” And … [Read more...]

Middlesex Land Trust Trails

May 22, 2018 by Steve Leave a Comment

Middlesex Land Trust Trails Cromwell, Durham, East Hampton, Middlefield, Middletown, Portland and Haddam Hoo boy. This one’s a doozy.

HLT: Meadowview

There is a View of a Meadow Harwinton Land Trust: Meadowview May 6, 2018 I’m going to do a rare thing here in Harwinton. I hiked all seven currently trailed properties on one (rainy) morning, so I’m going to sort of serialize the write-ups.

North Stonington Citizens Land Alliance

May 14, 2018 by Steve 1 Comment

North Stonington Citizens Land Alliance North Stonington Phew! The fabled North Stonington Citizens Land Alliance almost slipped under my radar!

Killingworth Land Conservation Trust Intro

May 7, 2018 by Steve Leave a Comment

Killingworth Land Conservation Trust Killingworth is known to me as “the town I cut through to get to Madison.” Of course, Connecticut is often derided as the state one must cut through to get to New York or Boston. And that annoys me, so apologies to the fine folks of Killingworth. On those cut-throughs, I … [Read more...]

I Think I Can(al), I Think I Can(al)... Farmington Land Trust's Canal Aqueduct & Henry Mason Trails March 2018 Hiking with my older son Damian is a total crapshoot.

Karter Watch Rock Preserve ~1 Mile, March 2018 I’ve been poking around Connecticut and writing about my adventures for over a decade.

Oxford Land Trust Intro

March 27, 2018 by Steve Leave a Comment

Oxford Land Trust Oxford Whenever I’m in Oxford I like to drink beer at the breweries, drive the back roads and hike. Wait. Let’s try that again. Whenever I’m in Oxford, I like to drink beer at the breweries, drive the back roads, and hike. Ah yes, the ol’ Oxford comma argument. While I see value in … [Read more...]
