Windsor Meadows State Park Windsor May 19, 2017 I certainly haven't been to every Connecticut state park or state park like entity (of which there are many), but I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest that a day of combining Windsor Meadows and the Windsor Locks Canal Trail State Park a few miles north of this … [Read more...]

Nevers Park
Why, I Nevers! South Windsor: Nevers Park ~ 1 mile, June 2017 There are five trailed properties on my South Windsor town trails list. I had this idea to just bundle them all together when I write them up because really, I think we can agree that South Windsor's town trails aren't exactly clickbait … [Read more...]
HAS: Station 43
Ice Station 43 Station 43, South Windsor January 29, 2014 & A year later I wasn't expecting much from this particular wildlife sanctuary along the Connecticut River in South Windsor, so I didn't really allot all that much time for exploring.

The Putnam River & Mill Heritage Trails
Putnamming One Foot in Front of the Other The Putnam River Mill Heritage & River Trails August 13, 2017 No, I didn’t walk the full length of either of these trails.

Round Mountain (2,280 feet) Salisbury, CT October 1, 2017 2nd on CT Highest Peaks List After summiting Mt.

Highpointing and Peak-Bagging Intro
This Page Needs More Prominence! Highpointing & Peakbagging Don't tell anyone, but this is perhaps my favorite pursuit. Moreso than museums. If I had the time, I’d devote a lot of time to these lists. As life would have it, what with two little kids and a job and all that, these are pretty much life-long … [Read more...]
TSTL’17.13: Farmington Canal State Park Trail
The Sky's the Limit 2017 Hiking Challenge #13 Farmington Canal State Park Trail, Cheshire September 16, 2017 The story here has nothing at all to do with the historic lock or the walk or the museum that wasn't open - because it's pretty much never open.
