Shunock River Estates Bridge

Connecticut’s Covered Bridge to Nowhere Shunock River Estates Bridge, North Stonington September 28, 2014 One would think that this page would be quickly written and then lost in the massive sprawl of CTMQ.

AT in CT Section 1

Section 1 Hoyt Road to Route 341, 11.5 miles November 2011 and May 2012 Quick - what town do northbound AT hikers enter when they first encounter Connecticut? I'll give you a second.

Bull's Bridge, Kent November 12, 2011 You know how covered bridges are pretty and quaint and always seem to be located in some picturesque setting deep in some hollow above some babbling brook?
