Nail It On Antolini Woods, New Hartford February 2023 I like wordplay and word games and such. Big crossword guy and everything. Even went to the American Crossword Puzzle Tournament in Stamford and everything. So when I see words like "Antolini," which is surely just some woman's name, I see opportunity. … [Read more...]

Cedar Mountain and Balf Nature Preserve
Okay Balf Cedar Mountain and Balf Nature Preserve, Newington January 2023 If you happen to be a Newington resident and have read some of the other pages I've written about Newington trails, you're probably gritting your teeth preparing for another smarmy screed from me.

Newington Greenway
F Greenway Trail Newington Greenway, Newington January 2023 This "trail" was removed from the town's trail guide in 2025. If you have found yourself on this page, congratulations!

Indian Hill Trail
A Proper Troll Indian Hill Trail, Newington January 2023 This "trail" was removed from the town's trail guide in 2025. Oh Newington, you vexing mistress, you. First, you go and elect a guy with my name as mayor (He didn't run in 2016, but whatever). Then you claim to have the "world's smallest waterfall" which … [Read more...]
Evergreen Walk Trail
It's a Walk... Walk Evergreen Walk, South Windsor January 2023 Walk enough urban trails around Connecticut and you'll get cynical about these things too.

Bethany Airport Trails
I Flew Through These Trails Bethany Airport Trails, Bethany September & November 2022 You should absolutely come here to check out the unearthed concrete airmail arrow near the restored historic airport hangar.

Washington’s Town Trails
Washington's Town Trails Washington is a beautiful town in the Litchfield foothills. There are beautiful hikes in Washington; among the best in the state. So I, like you, find it a little odd that the town itself doesn't really have any trails that I'm aware of. Did the state and Steep Rock get all the good stuff? … [Read more...]
Emerson J. Leonard Wildlife Sanctuary Turtle Trails
I Like Turtles Turtle Trails, Wallingford September 2022 Trail clarifications in the comments below! Thanks Mary! I used to get annoyed with myself when I'd obsess over these little trails that no one is looking for online or in the wild. Then at some point I realized that there are actually people looking for … [Read more...]
