Winchester’s Town Trails

July 14, 2020 by Steve Leave a Comment

Winchester's Town Trails Winchester is Winsted. I know, I know... no one calls this place Winchester. But I have a thing with data governance and standardized nomenclature and therefore it's Winchester. I also have a thing with categorizing the various trails around the state. Which means we end up with … [Read more...]

Branford Land Trust Trails

July 9, 2020 by Steve Leave a Comment

Branford's Town & Land Trust Trails Oh man. There are only a few towns that leave me no choice but to combine different entities' trailed properties into one list. As you've guessed by now, Branford is one. And while this gives my list-OCD fits, this is a very good thing. Very good in that it's nice to see … [Read more...]

Salisbury’s Town Trails

July 2, 2020 by Steve Leave a Comment

Salisbury's Town Trails I'm usually pretty confident in my lists. And y'all know I have lists. CTMQ is nothing more than me completing a billion different lists.

Salisbury Association Land Trust

July 1, 2020 by Steve Leave a Comment

Salisbury Association Land Trust Salisbury I'll admit it. I've created over 100 of these land trust trails pages and this one has me slightly defeated. Perhaps I'm a bit fatigued... nah. It's just that some of these entities don't have the resources to create useful websites. So I have to go on a time-consuming … [Read more...]
