Power Dams Trail
Fight the Power Power Dams Trail, Farmington March 2018 I hike a lot. I don’t necessarily mean miles upon miles, but rather, lots of different little trails.

I AM A GIANT MASTER
Master What? I AM A GIANT MASTER Sleeping Giant State Park, Hamden I have done a lot of things for CTMQ. I am inarguably the first/only person to have done a lot of things I have done.

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...]
