Suits Me to a Tea Kettletown Brook Cascades, Southbury January 2012 These falls (cascades, officially) are included in the new (2013) Connecticut Waterfalls guidebook, so I’m adding this page two years after visiting. And since I’m lazy, I’m not going to go find the CD that contains the original pictures to give … [Read more...]

Matianuck Sand Dunes Natural Area Preserve
Duuuuuuuune Matianuck Sand Dunes Natural Area Preserve July 2013 "Instead of the gym tomorrow morning, I'm going to the beach." "Um. What?" "Yeah, I'll be home usual time, don't worry about it." "Um. What?" "I just want to hit the sand in the early morning light. It invigorates me." "Um. What?" I … [Read more...]
Lake Waramaug State Park
Lake Waramaug State Park Kent July 5&7, 2013 I live in West Hartford, about an hour away from Kent. So why in the world did I go to Lake Waramaug twice in 3 days? Especially when we had no plans to even go at all two days prior? Friends, this is what life is all about. Life with kids anyway. When you are … [Read more...]
State Highpointing Intro
I started documenting our highpointing trips back in early 2002 after we summitted our first state, Rhode Island. Back then, I wrote trip reports on a PC, printed them off, and inserted pictures like a 6th grade book report. I did this solely for myself, even though I felt all-the-while that I'd be transferring these … [Read more...]
HLCT: Gaylord Mt. Road & West Todd Street
Gaylord Mt. Road & West Todd Street Hamden Land Conservation Trust May 5, 2013 Straight up: I didn’t hike here. I drove here and took this picture: And I drove up into the little lot at the base of that giant power tower, but didn’t see any signs or anything inviting, so I left. (I wanted to get ice … [Read more...]
HLCT: The Brethren
The Brethren Hamden Land Conservation Trust May 5, 2013 If you’ve read through these Hamden Land Conservation Trust pages – wow, really? Good for you. That makes me happy. But what I was really going to say was that you have noticed by now that their properties are often quite tiny. One is nothing more than a … [Read more...]
HCLT: Timberwood Trail
15 Timberwood (Timberwood Trail) Hamden Land Conservation Trust May 5, 2013 The entrance into this neighborhood looks like the road into a park. Wooded and with solid low fencing, I wasn’t sure where the .19 acre Hamden Land Conservation Trust property was, exactly. Here’s where it is: At the end of the … [Read more...]
HLCT: 85 West Shepard Avenue
85 West Shepard Avenue Hamden Land Conservation Trust May 5, 2013 Haha! Tricked you again! This land is inaccessible too, but I did take a picture of the lovely house that stands sentry to the land. Land which, I'm sure, is beautiful and will be accessible someday in the future. “This land is held in … [Read more...]
HLCT: Johnson’s Pond
Johnson’s Pond Hamden Land Conservation Trust May 5, 2013 This property’s access point is along a residential road where I was impressed by the upkeep of the lawns. It is in the shadow of the Wilbur Cross, but is also right next to this nice little bit of Hamden Land Conservation Trust property which accesses … [Read more...]
HLCT: 6 Elmwood Place
6 Elmwood Place Hamden Land Conservation Trust May 6, 2013 Haha, you clicked here. There’s nothing to see here. Nothing at all. I have no idea why the Hamden Land Conservation Trust bothers owning this inaccessible postage stamp property, but they do. It’s behind these houses: “Acquired in 2000, this is a … [Read more...]
