Orange: PEZ Orange (Google Maps location) February 18, 2012 Everyone knows that the World Wide Leader of Sports, ESPN, is located in Bristol, Connecticut. Many people know that GE is headquartered here as well. Um, New Haven has the best pizza in the world, but doesn’t exactly distribute its product. The … [Read more...]
10 Years Old!
CTMQ-X 9/8/2006-9/8/2016 You know what? I think it's pretty darn cool that I've been at this CTMQ thing for ten years now. Nearly a quarter of my life... Twice the length of my son Calvin’s life. And the entirety of my older son Damian's life - and that's important because I cite Damian's birth and life as sort of … [Read more...]
CCMQ
Cape Cod Museum Quest 2014- I have no plans to ever expand on this idea for several reasons: I've spent an entirety of 20 days on Cape Cod in my life (at least 10 of which were spent entirely at a beach), I have no idea how many more days I'll spend on the Cape in my life, and getting to museums is not even … [Read more...]
Baker’s Cave
"D'Oh! Another Fake Cave” Baker's Cave, East Lyme August 2016 Tuesday in August, no camp/school/activities for the boys. What to do, what to do... I didn't really know as I buckled them into the car and headed south. The forecast called for rain, and lots of it. So I thought we'd go to Rocky Neck State Park … [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...]
The Best Way I Know How to Say…
... Thank You and Goodbye Have you ever had dozens of people to thank but find the process of thanking them all a bit daunting? That's the position my wife and I are in today. Fortunately, I have this platform on which to do my best. And even though I'm going to try my best, it's still not going to be nearly good … [Read more...]
Found Land
Found Land, Avon May 29, 2016 I must admit, "Found Land" is one of my favorite place-names in Connecticut. My hope is that Avon or Canton finds a new plot of unclaimed forest and they can call it "New Found Land." I didn't have much hope for Found Land, but I figured it would provide a decent chunk of time … [Read more...]
TSTL’16.6: Black Rock State Park
The Sky's the Limit 2016 Hiking Challenge #6 Black Rock State Park, Watertown May 15, 2016 As I drove into Black Rock State Park for 2016’s sixth DEEP Sky’s the Limit Challenge hike with my boys, it occurred to me that I’d never been to Black Rock before. I suppose that’s no big deal to most of you, but it sort … [Read more...]
Horizon Wings Raptor Rehab Center
”Take... These Broken Wings” Horizon Wings Raptor Rehab Center, Ashford (Location) April 2016 Connecticut museum visit #315. No, this isn¹t a museum and no, they don¹t call themselves one. But I am, for the sake of continuity on CTMQ. Horizon Wings isn't much different than any of the Audubon Society centers … [Read more...]
A Cardinal House Model Trails
One Cardinal Rule Here A Cardinal House Train Layout December 27, 2015 The B&B closed in 2018 or so, and the trains were on COVID hiatus, but the owner tells me he plans to bring them back in 21-22 winter. There are many lists on CTMQ. I like my lists. One such list I’ve tried to keep up with is the … [Read more...]
