Old Lyme’s Town Trails Good Ol’ Lyme. Good ol’ Old Lyme. Quite a time, one can have in Lyme. The former art colony is sublime – who’s saying that? I’m. How much more can I rhyme with Old Lyme? Hm, well, it has pretty low crime, it’s east of Anaheim, Tyler Olander under Jim Calhoun (who coached in Old Lyme) … [Read more...]

Granby’s Town Trails
Granby’s Town Trails You’d think that these intro pages would be easy for me to compile by now. And for the most part, they are. But every so often, I run into impossibilities. Granby presents some impossibilities. I blame one Mr. George P. McLean. The former Attorney General, Governor, Senator owned the … [Read more...]
Carpenter’s Falls
Couldn’t Build a Better Falls Carpenter’s Falls, Granby April 2018 As of this writing, I’m trying to sort out my “Complete Guide to Granby” and you may be surprised to learn there’s a lot going on here.

Oxford’s Town Trails
Oxford’s Town Trails Oxford has a lot of beauty spots, but not too many trails for some reason. Perhaps they like to keep their secret to themselves. The town has a land trust with trailed properties, but they are elusive and difficult to pin down. There's plenty of state land here, but none of it is really pushed … [Read more...]

Harwinton’s Town Trails
Harwinton’s Town Trails This is nice. A town that puts a focus on its natural resources. The town of Harwinton maintains a trail network on land right next to the town offices and such. Pay your taxes, then go for a hike. Attend a planning and zoning meeting, then go for a hike on some land zoned for hiking … [Read more...]
