Saugatuck Trail Intro

February 13, 2022 by Steve Leave a Comment

Saugatuck Trail Easton to Weston, ~12 miles December 2007 - I completed the Saugatuck Trail in 2007 in just a couple of hours. Then CFPA extended in in 2018 and linked it up with the newer Aspetuck Trail. So now I have to write this introduction page because now I have to hike the trail in two part. But at … [Read more...]

CTMQ’s Guide to Weston

July 3, 2019 by Steve Leave a Comment

Everything Weston 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” Weston CTMQ-style... as well as the other 168 towns, cities, and boroughs in Connecticut. That is the ultimate goal of CTMQ. If I’ve … [Read more...]

Weston’s Town Trails

July 3, 2019 by Steve Leave a Comment

Weston’s Town Trails Weston is a weird town. I have this hypothetical competition in my head regarding which Connecticut town is the strangest.

Aspetuck Land Trust Intro

April 28, 2014 by Steve Leave a Comment

Aspetuck Land Trust Bridgeport, Easton, Weston, Fairfield, Wilton & Westport Knowing what I know of Easton and Weston, I would certainly expect there to be a large and organized land trust there. There is pretty much no development in those two towns – which is wholly by writ and design. The archaic bylaws of … [Read more...]

159. Weston Woods (RIP)

May 24, 2011 by Steve 4 Comments

How the Weston Woods Was Won Weston (Google Maps location) March 13, 2010 Update: Morton Schindel passed away in 2016 at the age of 98. This place no longer exists as we visited it, and that makes my wife and I very, very sad. We both loved meeting Mort and could have spent a week with him in Weston. His house and … [Read more...]

Saugatuck Trail: Section 2

January 27, 2008 by Steve 1 Comment

I Came, I Saugatucked, I Conquered Redding & Weston, 6.9 miles December 2007 In 2018, The Saugatuck Trail was been extended around the northern end of the Saugatuck Reservoir and connects to the Aspetuck Trail in Easton.
