Plymabama

Plymabama... Alabamouth? Plymouth I notice things. Oftentimes, the things I notice are pure nonsense. Take, for example, this entire page.

CTMQ’s Guide to Plymouth

Everything Plymouth I’ve been exploring and writing about Connecticut since 2006. After a decade, I began compiling CTMQ guides for each town in the state. I plan on “completing” Plymouth CTMQ-style... as well as the other 168 towns, cities, and boroughs in Connecticut. After all, that is the ultimate goal of … [Read more...]

Plymouth’s Town Trail Intro

Plymouth’s Town Trail Plymouth Plymouth is one of those towns that most people refer to as another name. In this case, it’s Terryville. I’ve known a bunch of people who’ve claimed they were from Terryville. I’ve never known anyone who says they’re from Plymouth. It’s a weird Connecticut thing I’m finally getting … [Read more...]

Plymouth Land Trust Intro

Plymouth Land Trust Trails Plymouth I don’t have any rational reason as to why, but as I write this before I’ve stepped foot on any Plymouth Land Trust trail, I’m pulling for them. I want their two little trails to be excellent. Perhaps because when I sought to pull this page together, part of me was like, … [Read more...]

Tunxis Mainline Trail: Section 2

Section 2: It's All New! Plymouth/Burlington, 8 miles April 20 & 27, 2008 & January 18, 2015 2015 Update: Hear Ye! Hear Ye! The CFPA has closed the gap along the Tunxis in Burlington!

107. Lock Museum of America

The Key To My Heart Terryville section of Plymouth (Google Maps Location) May 28, 2009 Come. Come with me on a journey into the mind of a madman. No, not me, but Tom Hennessey – the guy most responsible for the wonderful insanity (some blowhards would say inanity) of the Lock Museum of America. At the outset … [Read more...]

Whitestone -Jericho Connector

CONNECT(icut) Plymouth/Thomaston/Watertown, 1.6 miles March 31, 2009 There's no need for this post. Really. It's a nice connector trail to have available, as one can hook up from the Jericho to the Mattatuck and continue west or east. It's just not necessary for me to bother writing it up. Just look at this … [Read more...]

This section of the Mattatuck State Forest is tucked into … [Read more...]

Waterbury Area Trails Intro

Waterbury Area Trails Waterbury, Watertown, Plymouth, Thomaston Waterbury and Hiking go together like... Toothpaste and Grapefruit Juice? Blindness and Driving? UConn and football? What I’m saying is, no one thinks about hiking when they think of Waterbury. Here's the thing: Waterbury is thought of as … [Read more...]
