Wallingford Land Trust Wallingford Before I began this website all those years ago, I had a fairly low opinion of Wallingford. Then a couple things happened: I visited Gouveia Vineyards and hiked the Mattabesett Trail east of I-91. Both are beautiful and have a definite remote feel. In Wallingford. My … [Read more...]

Burlington Trail Master!
I Have Mastered Burlington Burlington Trail Master April 2008 - November 2015 I have a painful admission. Becoming a Burlington Trail Master didn't excite me as much as I thought it would. Don't get me wrong - I was and still am excited to be a BTM. But perhaps my celebration was a bit muted because, … [Read more...]

BLT: Martha Brower Sanctuary
It’s All About the Farting Mushrooms BLT Greer Road Red Trail November 22, 2015 If that title doesn’t draw you in... you are dead inside.

Are there many suburban/exurban areas with land as expensive as it is in Greenwich? And I’m not just talking about Connecticut, I’m talking … [Read more...]
New Canaan Land Trust
The New Canaan Land Trust Oh how I love New Canaan. I often get asked where in Connecticut I’d most like to live. I almost always say, “in a mid-century modern in New Canaan.” I love them. AndI love the town’s proximity to New York City. I just can’t afford to live there. But I can afford to hike … [Read more...]
Burlington Hiking Challenges
Master of Burlington's Domain Burlington Trail Master/Vertical Mile/Century Club Programs I'm going to try my best to retrofit an old page into a new one. Bear with me. Back in the day, the (excellent) Burlington Land Trust put together what was known as the Burlington Trail Master Challenge. If you are the … [Read more...]
Madison Land Conservation Trust
Madison Land Conservation Trust Trails Madison Madison has a surprising number of trailed properties. It certainly helps that the local land trust is so active and (apparently) well-funded. The MLCT has a great website with excellent maps - two things that certainly make my task to "hike everything" much easier. … [Read more...]
