Windsor’s Town Trails Windsor is home to one of the state's worst state parks as well as one of the state's coolest state scenic reserve area things.

East Granby’s Town Trails
East Granby’s Town Trails There are some nice natural areas in East Granby – especially up on the Metacomet Ridgeline that cuts the town in two from south to north.

East Granby Land Trust Trails Intro
East Granby Land Trust Trails East Granby is just... East Granby. It's not all fancified like Granby with its "North Granby" and "West Granby" frou-frou. No, East Granby just goes hard by itself.

Huntington State Park Bears!
... And Wolves Too Anna Hyatt Huntington Sculptures Redding For the uninitiated, I have been a big Stephen Colbert fan for many, many years.

BLT: Fetzer Property & Falls (Private)
I Love This House Fetzer Falls at the Fetzer Property, Burlington May 2015 Writing CTMQ has been a great way for me to meet some really interesting people over the years. Many of these people aren’t remotely “famous” or sought out, but that’s okay. They all probably like it that way. One such person is … [Read more...]
Orange Land Trust Intro
Orange Land Trust Orange Orange you glad you clicked on this page? There is such a thing as the Orange Land Trust, and they do own a bunch of little parcels all over town. However, there seems to be some question (from me) as to what is hikeable among them. As far as I can tell, almost nothing. But the … [Read more...]
