Everything Windsor 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” Windsor CTMQ-style... as well as the other 168 towns, cities, and boroughs in Connecticut. That is the ultimate goal of CTMQ. If … [Read more...]
Jesse F. Smith Memorial Forest
Jesse's Burl Jesse F. Smith Memorial Forest, Suffield July 2018 Those of you who know me - or at least know a little bit about how I operate - won't be too surprised to read that it took me three attempts to hike this little property. THREE. Why? I don't really know. The forest entrance was closed for … [Read more...]

Windsor’s Town Trails
Windsor’s Town Trails Windsor is home to one of the state's worst state parks as well as one of the state's coolest state scenic reserve area things.

Hubble Tower
“I Can See The Whole Universe From Here!” Hubble Tower (Private), Burlington November 2018 I really wish I could remember how I found this thing. It would probably freak you out if I told you that I was staring at Google Maps satellite images one day for some reason and happened to find it in the woods of … [Read more...]

Nod Hill Brewery
"Don’t Sleep on This Place” Nod Hill Brewery, Ridgefield May 2018 If you foolishly lurk around beer groups on social media, you’ll see the phrase “don’t sleep on this [beer/brewery]” quite often. It’s especially irksome when it’s some well-established brewery or more often, just another New England IPA that tastes … [Read more...]
East Granby’s Town Trails
East Granby’s Town Trails There are some nice natural areas in East Granby – especially up on the Metacomet Ridgeline that cuts the town in two from south to north. So it’s no surprise that lots of trailed properties in town are sited on the hillsides and up to the ridge. Cowles Park has sort of been … [Read more...]
East Granby Land Trust Trails Intro
East Granby Land Trust Trails East Granby is just... East Granby. It's not all fancified like Granby with its "North Granby" and "West Granby" frou-frou. No, East Granby just goes hard by itself.
