Ashford’s Town Trails
Ashford’s Town Trails Ashford is certainly one of our state’s “forgotten” towns. But not here at CTMQ. Ashford is a lovely town with many lovely things and even lovelier people. Back in the days when I was physically fit and a member of the UConn cycling team, I’d ride from Storrs to Ashford all the time simply … [Read more...]
Andover’s Town Trails
Andover’s Town Trails Andover’s most interesting aspect is that it is the first Connecticut town... alphabetically. After that? I’ve got nothin’. Actually, that's not true, as there's always somethin'. Just not too much in the way of trails that the town itself oversees. Now you could go hike their one … [Read more...]
Westmoor Park Trails
Always Looking for Moor Westmoor Park Trails, West Hartford November and December, 2014 See also: My page on Westmoor as a museum The trails at Westmoor's Spicebush Swamp The fun part of being a crossword nerd is that I know that a "moor" is a fen.

West Hartford’s Town Trails
West Hartford's Town Trails I live in West Hartford. I've lived here since 2000, first renting with a friend, then renting with my new wife, then buying one house, and then moving into another in late 2019. I rather enjoy it, but we have almost no green space. If I were to exclude the MDC property, which I should … [Read more...]
Bishop West Trails
I’m a Pawn to Bishop Bishop West Trails, ~1.2 miles one way, Woodbridge September 21, 2014 The sun had risen on me during my earlier hike on the eastern side of route 69, over at the Bishop East/Darling House property. You can read about that hike here, and it would probably make sense to do so, since this hike … [Read more...]
WLT: Bishop Estate East & Darling House Trails
Regicides’ Rain Bishop Estate East, Woodbridge September 21, 2014 The more I hike around Connecticut, the more I realize how much interconnection there is with our trails. For years when I’d hike the blue-blazes of the CFPA trails, I’d totally ignore the side trails that went off to who-knows-where. But … [Read more...]
Woodbridge’s Town Trails
Woodbridge Land Trust & Town Trails Woodbridge makes it impossible to separate the land trust from the town trails. I bet you didn't know that the Woodbridge Land Trust is one of the oldest land trusts in Connecticut. Of course, I've read that on dozens of land trust websites. It's as if there's not cut-off or … [Read more...]
Albert E. Moss Sanctuary
Frankly, I Expected More Moss Albert E. Moss Sanctuary, Mansfield May 30, 2014 I had some time and I had a map. I needed no other reasons to get in my first official Mansfield Town Trail - oh, other than the fact that I was literally one minute away from the trailhead I guess. UConn/Storrs has changed so … [Read more...]
Mansfield’s Town Trails
Mansfield’s Town Trails Hellooooo Mansfield! I used to live in you! Many different parts of you, actually. I lived in your Jungle at UConn – Middlesex 4th Represent! And I lived in an assortment of random off-campus dwellings during the summers of my UConn experience. I have shopped in your woefully outdated and … [Read more...]
