Audubon, Nature Conservancy, South Central Connecticut Regional Water Authority, and US Army Corps of Engineers Trails I've thrown a bunch of very different entities' trails together on this one main page because... because I wanted to. And while you may think these are not hikes worth your time and effort, I'm here … [Read more...]
Massport to Nachursetts: Wellfleet Bay
Passport to Nature, Mass Audubon Wellfleet Bay, Wellfleet August 2016 At this point, I've only been to two Mass Audubon properties (of 21). Regardless, I imagine this one at Wellfleet Bay has to be one of the best. The Nature Center is large, modern, informative, and quite impressive. And the trails out to the … [Read more...]
Mass Audubon Passport to Nature
Mass Exodus? Mass Audubon Passport to Nature Warning: This page/challenge is absurd for me to even consider. It’s in Massachusetts. I don’t “do” Massachusetts on this website. Yet, here I am. “Doing” Massachusetts. Sigh. Though, if you sully yourselves and click on the links or tags, please know I … [Read more...]
Fisher Meadows
Dead Fisher Fisher Meadows, Avon May 8 & 21, 2016 I have no idea why we started hiking the trails of Avon in early 2016, but we did. I used the hikes as sort of a filler on those weekends when we didn’t have time to do a “real” hike or to go on another adventure. "We only have a couple hours? Fine, lets go over … [Read more...]
315. Horizon Wings Raptor Rehab Center
”Take... These Broken Wings” Ashford (Google Maps location) April 23, 2016 No, this isn¹t a museum and no, they don¹t call themselves one. But I am, for the sake of continuity on CTMQ. Horizon Wings isn¹t much different than any of the Audubon Society centers I lump in as museums. The worst part about this is … [Read more...]
Mystic Aquarium
Lion(fish) and Tiger(sharks), Oh My! Mystic section of Stonington (Google Maps Location) October 11, 2007, etc. I've been to the Aquarium a few times since the initial visit that most of this page is based upon - and have gained a greater appreciation for it over the years. In 2016, I fixed up the pictures here a … [Read more...]
Harry C. Barnes Memorial Nature Center
Ain't No Party Like an Owl Party Bristol (Google Maps Location) November 22, 2015 You people have no idea. I have been waiting nearly ten years for this place to reopen. Not that I necessarily had high hopes for it or that I'm a huge Harry C. Barnes fan - it was more the principle of the thing. Back in … [Read more...]
HAS: Greenstone Hollow Nature Preserve
What Did YOU Do on 11-12-13? Greenstone Hollow, East Granby November 12, 2013 I admit, I went to this little property up route 187 thinking it would be a “nothing” little walk. Of course, there’s not many miles of trail here and literally zero feet of elevation gain. I just wanted to finally get an … [Read more...]
Helen’s Way
What? Heroin Hookery? Helen's Way and the Great Blue Heron Rookery November 3, 2013 I went to see longtime online friend and Courant writer Peter Marteka give a presentation at the Simsbury Library all about “Hidden Hikes in Connecticut.” Easily one of my favorite topics in the world and the talk did not … [Read more...]
South Florida: 2010
Everglades and South Beach April 20-23, 2010 Oh look! Hoang and I went to South Beach again. My parents were awesome for watching Damian for a few days in Delaware and we flew out of Philly for a few days in the sun. Here are 19 pictures. … [Read more...]
