Krizt! Kriz Farm Horseshoe Pile, Bethany January 2021 Once in a blue moon a reader alerts me to something in Connecticut about which I was wholly unaware.

Hawk the Herald Angels Sing Hawk Hill Farm, ~1 mile, Wintonbury Land Trust, Bloomfield April 2020 I just love the fact that there are so many Bloomfield hikes.
