Natchaug Trail: Section 2
Section 2: Still NatCHUGGING Along 10 miles, Eastford, Chaplin, & Hampton July 2017 What a thing... splitting this trail into two hikes; the first in single-digit temperatures in March and this one in the heat of mid-July.

Bear Hands Brewing Company
The Right to Bear Hands Bear Hands Brewing Company, Putnam November 2020 My friend Adam and I have an ongoing inside joke between us that isn't suited for this family website.
