Beaver Cheese Beaver Brook Farms, Lyme 8/24/2009 It took some doing, but Hoang has finally convinced me that a warm and sunny lazy summer day at the beach is a worthwhile and wonderful pursuit. And I, on the flipside, have convinced her that stops along the way to sample some of Connecticut’s cheese is equally … [Read more...]
Devil’s Garden Rd, Norwalk
You better watch out. There is also a small area of woods in this very densely populated area called Devil's Garden Open Space. I didn't see any trails or signage for that though, but it's so small you can see the houses through to the other side. Or maybe that's the illusion of safety the Prince of Darkness … [Read more...]
111. Gillette Castle
The Best (Castle) a Man Can Get East Haddam & Lyme (Google Maps Location) May 31, 2009 I've since visited Gillette Castle many times, for many different reasons. In fact, there are several other CTMQ pages about the state park, often with much better pictures. Aha! A rarity on CTMQ: A museum I’d visited … [Read more...]

“We Built This Gay City… We Built This Gay City on Rocks and Roll(ing Hills)!” Bolton, Glastonbury & Hebron, about 11 miles total June 17 and 24, 2009 It is always challenging for me to logically and concisely present these "trail networks" for easy consumption.

155. The Joseloff Gallery
Hung Juried West Hartford (Google Maps Location) March 3, 2010 I don’t know how many college and private boarding/prep school art galleries there are in the state, but since I started including them, I can’t stop now.

How You Like These Apples? B.F. Clyde's Cider Mill, Stonington (Google Maps location) October 24, 2009 Since this first visit, we have been to Clyde's several times.

Curling in Norfolk!
Curling Is Not a Sport. There, I Said It. Norfolk Curling Club, Norfolk February 20, 2010 Note: Some jackasses burned down the curling shed in 2011. But it has risen from the ashes and is back open in late 2013! This makes me very happy. You are not really a fan of curling. Oh sure, you pretend to be during … [Read more...]
ASME: BF Clyde’s Cider Mill

C.H. Pease Museum of Natural History
May I Pease See Your Museum North Canaan (Google Maps Location) February 20, 2010 CT Museum #153 No one will complain about me writing too much about this little museum. That’s because I don’t have anything to say about it. There is no information online anywhere at all and the signage at the museum was … [Read more...]
ASME: Jacobs Engine Brake Retarder
ASME Landmark # 108 (1957) Jacobs Manufacturing Company Bloomfield This is the ASME Landmark that really got me interested in this little list of eight nine rather random engineering achievements in Connecticut.
