Meshomasic State Forest Intro

January 21, 2021 by Steve Leave a Comment

Meshomasic State Forest Colchester, East Hampton, Portland, Glastonbury, Hebron, & Marlborough I can't promise you that this page will ever be complete. Yes, I like to be thorough and almost always am, but when it comes to the Mesh... it's tough. It's big and it's sprawling, sure, but most importantly it contains … [Read more...]

Marlborough: Complete!

February 19, 2020 by Steve Leave a Comment

Marlborough: Complete! Sadler’s Restaurant and Bakery Here is my list of everything I've done in Marlborough! I’m very excited to write this page. This is the 21st of what may ultimately be 169 town completion celebration pages! Yes, of course I am fully aware of how absurd that is. But I love it. For … [Read more...]

Elementary School Trails

February 18, 2020 by Steve 1 Comment

Takin' Marlborough to School Elmer Thienes - Mary Hall Elementary School Trails, Marlborough February 2020 Ah, CTMQ. My muse. My love. How you drive me crazy with your ridiculous goals. How I was this close to "completing" Marlborough five months before hiking this surprising little trail network behind the town's … [Read more...]

Salmon River State Forest: Marlborough Blocks

February 14, 2020 by Steve Leave a Comment

Salmon River State Forest Marlborough At one point, I was all gung ho about hiking around the two distinct blocks of Salmon River State Forest in Marlborough. The town had a very impressive plan for trails all over the place back in 2009. To this day, it still looks very exciting. But they never really … [Read more...]

Salmon River State Forest Intro

February 14, 2020 by Steve Leave a Comment

Salmon River State Forest Colchester, East Hampton, East Haddam, Hebron, & Marlborough For some crazy reason I decided to start creating these introduction pages for any of our state parks and forests that require more than one page on the site. It makes sense for lots of them, for they may have a CFPA trail along … [Read more...]

Blish Memorial Park

February 14, 2020 by Steve Leave a Comment

Blish Blash I Was Taken A Bath… Blish Memorial Park, Marlborough November 2019 When I put my page together listing Marlborough’s town trails, I wavered on this one. I know I read somewhere that the town park included a trail or trails. Months passed and when I was planning a trip to Marlborough – there’s a … [Read more...]

Chateau Le’ Gari’

December 10, 2019 by Steve Leave a Comment

Laissez Le Mauvais Temps Rouler Chateau Le' Gari', Marlborough July, 2019 Let’s start with the name of this winery and event space in Marlborough. “Chateau Le’ Gari’.” I’m missing something. Chateau implies a bit of a more stately structure than what I found in Marlborough, and Le’ doesn’t really mean anything … [Read more...]

Blackledge River Greenway

November 28, 2019 by Steve 1 Comment

Unfiltered Marlborough Blackledge River Greenway, Marlborough November 2019 When I searched online for places to hike in Marlborough, I came up fairly empty. I found that quite odd for a town with so much state forest. I sort of forgot about it, made my Marlborough Town Guide, and went about my business. I … [Read more...]

"Marlboring" Marlborough (Google Maps location) September 14, 2019 Parenting is an often thankless and difficult job. For me, trying times are outweighed by the good stuff. Watching your son grow into a young man is a fascinating journey. Frequent readers of this website know that I drag my poor children involve … [Read more...]

The Farm at Carter Hill

October 23, 2019 by Steve Leave a Comment

Marlborough Gotta Marlborough The Farm at Carter Hill, Marlborough July 28, 2019 Marlborough is one of our 169 towns with… not much to CTMQ-do. One art gallery, a few little trails here and there… a cool roadside rock… um… and this place. Whatever this place is. You’ve got me. The Farm at Carter Hill seems … [Read more...]
