Wheel on By This One Samuel Wheeler Reed Park, Bloomfield April 25, 2015 Bloomfield has a surprising amount of parks, parkland, land trust property, and the like. This is probably "surprising" because people think Bloomfield is way more urban than it actually is. Sure, it sits atop Hartford and shares some urban … [Read more...]
Dodge Paddock/Beal Preserve
Couldn’t Dodge Sandy Dodge Paddock/Beal Preserve , Stonington May 16, 2015 This post pretty much represents everything I love about these particular tiny little land trust properties – and every reason why I continue exploring them and writing about them. This little place is only 3.68 acres. The “hike” on the … [Read more...]
Enders Island
This Is It: The Enders Enders Island, Mystic May 16, 2015 Every once in a while I'm tasked with writing a page that I find difficult to write for reasons that may surprise you. In this case, it's because Enders Island is a confusing, strange, stunningly beautiful, relatively unknown, mixed bag of a place - with a … [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.

WLT: Farnam Field
Um, Kestrels are Really Cool Farnam Field, .5 mile, Wallingford Land Trust January 16, 2015 I have no idea when you're reading this, but for some reason, once I started doing these little Wallingford Land Trust hikes, they've received way more interest than I'd ever thought possible. So I'm just going to keep on … [Read more...]
Grace Farms
Graceful Grace Farms New Canaan This is the first post I'm writing in 2016. Perhaps it will grant me the grace and peace I need to continue forward in a kind and forgiving manner. But most likely not. (I am posting larger pictures than ever before on CTMQ. Enjoy!) I pulled off the Merritt after our … [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...]
Swan Preserve & Winsor Woods
Swan Preserve & Winsor Woods Canton Land Conservation Trust October & November 2015 Since the Canton Land Conservation Trust lumps these two trail networks together, so shall I. They are only a short drive away from each other (and a host to Simsbury Land Trust trails as well) and both traverse rather similar … [Read more...]
297. The Genius Museum
Gateway... to The Next Gateway Montville (Google Maps location) July 10, 2015 In 2018-19, the Gateway Museum expanded a bit and they changed the name. It is now the Genius Museum and if I want to be thorough, I suppose I should revisit at some point to view the expansion. I'll start off as I often have to do; … [Read more...]
Pizza at Sally’s Apizza
The Best Pizza on Earth Sally’s Apizza, New Haven June 2015 Disclaimer: I love Sally’s. I love them more than I love Pepe’s and Modern and every other pretender to the exalted throne that lords over the Connecticut pizza kingdom. Unapologetically. (And you thought that disclaimer was going to be one … [Read more...]
