Rocking Rock Watching at Watch Rock Old Lyme Land Trust: Elizabeth B. Karter Watch Rock Preserve ~1 Mile, March 2018 I’ve been poking around Connecticut and writing about my adventures for over a decade.

Harwinton Land Trust Intro
Harwinton Land Trust I'm excited for Harwinton hiking. I don't know why, really. Perhaps because I want to have an identity for Harwinton in my head. I'd driven through it on my way out west (and back) a million times, but I'd never really stopped to check the place out. So many larger/longer trails … [Read more...]
