Worthington Pond Farm Covered Bridge

June 23, 2022 by Steve Leave a Comment

A Totally Worthington Bridge Worthington Pond Farm Covered Bridge, Somers December 2016 Shortly before I first visited this rather large and pretty covered bridge, Worthington Farm was... a farm. But at some point in the 21st century, Dan Roulier bought and developed the property into a private park of sorts. I'm … [Read more...]

Farmer’s Cow Calfé & Creamery

May 18, 2022 by Steve Leave a Comment

Ice Cream with Calfvin Farmer's Cow Calfé & Creamery, Mansfield March 2021 Just another typical 75-degree March day in Connecticut. After some hiking up in Chaplin, I rewarded my son with some ice cream. That's just how these outings have to work sometimes. Fortunately, there's often a new-to-me homemade ice cream … [Read more...]

Bread and Milk Road & Street

March 16, 2022 by Steve Leave a Comment

Winter Storm Prep Central Bread and Milk Road & Street, Coventry & Vernon We all love dumb street names. As I've slowly introduced my son to the wonderful world of CTMQ - despite his being an unwitting part of it his entire life - he really seems to enjoy the dumb street names I highlight on occasion. When we … [Read more...]

JT: Dorothy Goodwin Reserve

March 10, 2022 by Steve Leave a Comment

S'no Problem Joshua's Trust Dorothy Goodwin Reserve, Mansfield March 2022 I was up at UConn for something and whenever I go somewhere for something, I try to squeeze in some other things for this thing. ("This thing" being this website.) And if I'm lucky, one or two of those things for this thing is hiking. … [Read more...]

Valley Falls Falls

March 8, 2022 by Steve Leave a Comment

Fallin' Fallin' Fallin' Valley Falls Falls, Vernon March 2021 Yup, another semi-fake little waterfall gets its own page here on the mighty CTMQ dot org. A falls I've previously stood next to at least twice in my life and never felt the need to document in any meaningful way. In fact, I apparently thought … [Read more...]

Staffordville Post Office

February 21, 2022 by Steve Leave a Comment

The Whole Package Staffordville Post Office, Stafford If you ever find yourself driving around Staffordville and western Union and become lost in the thought that you've somehow driven off the grid to somewhere in, oh I don't know, Michigan's upper peninsula somehow, this creepy post office may wind up being your … [Read more...]

NRLT: Manchester Field and Woods

January 24, 2022 by Steve Leave a Comment

Not in Manchester, Not in Roxbury Manchester Field and Woods, Union December 2021 None of the New Roxbury Land Trust properties are officially trailed. Look, I hear you. When did I start writing about untrailed and admittedly unexciting properties? The answer is... today. And I don't really have a good reason … [Read more...]

Tolland County Highpoint: Burley Hill

January 10, 2022 by Steve 1 Comment

Burley Hill Tolland County Highpoint: (1,316 Feet), Union December 31, 2021 Wow, this is weird. I just went to look at my page on the Windham County Highpoint at Snow Hill in Ashford and it turns out that I conquered that county on New Years Eve Day exactly five years prior to climbing Burley Hill. I was … [Read more...]

Tolland Red and White

December 15, 2021 by Steve Leave a Comment

... and Electric Blue Tolland Red and White Tolland There's this little gray-area category here on CTMQ of stores that have museum-like qualities. They're certainly not museums, but they're unique and interesting enough to slip onto the pages of this website. One such store is Tolland Red and White. After … [Read more...]

Andover: Complete

November 19, 2021 by Steve Leave a Comment

Andover: Complete! Andover Pizza & Bar Here is my list of everything I've done in Andover! I’m very excited to write this page. This is the 26th 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. In late 2016, after a … [Read more...]
