Sadly, No Rod or Todd in Sight Woodbury (Google Maps Location) July 24, 2009 Casual readers of CTMQ can be forgiven for thinking all of our adventures with Damian are wonderfully happy little trips through the tulips. Unfortunately, this is not always the case - I tend to focus on the good stuff here and of … [Read more...]
Catskills 3500 Club
The Catskills Mountains Eastern New York I'd never hiked in the Catskills before deciding to tackle this list of the 35 peaks there that are over 3,500 feet. On a good traffic day, I can get there in about 2.5 hours and some of the trails are truly beautiful. Heck, I think I can knock out this list over a series of … [Read more...]
Adirondack 46ers
Adirondack 46ers September 4, 2004 - I've absolutely loved the short times I've spent in the Adirondacks. Lake Placid is one of my favorite secret towns in America and the hugely expansive park is inspiring for a reason. And it's inspired another peak-bagging list - the 46 4,000 foot peaks of the ADK's. … [Read more...]
US National Parks
Since I seem to keep track of everything, why not keep track of the National Parks I've been to (and remember)? No stories here, just a list. Tallies as of 7/1/2018 Steve: 23 Hoang: 7 (All with me!) Visited Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona (Family vacation, mid-80's) Petrified Forest National … [Read more...]
New England Hundred Highest (NEHH)
NEHH Includes NH48 and NE67 Another rather ambitious peak-bagging list that I'd love to complete, but I think real life will make this one difficult. There are a bunch of different peak-bagging lists 'round these parts, a few of which are inclusive to the New England Hundred Highest list below. It … [Read more...]
Cheeseburger at Shady Glen
I Feel Shady Eating Cow Shady Glen, Manchester As CTMQ readers may know, I don't eat dead cows (or pigs or goats for that matter). However, for the hugely important purposes of the site, I've cast aside my aversion to the meat industry (really, I don't care about the cows themselves so much) in an effort to sample … [Read more...]
Ice Cream at Shady Glen
Made in the Shady Shady Glen, Manchester August 2009 Shady Glen makes a few appearances on CTMQ. One for their Unique and delicious fried cheese plate, one for their burgers being one of Roadfood's best burgers, and this one - for its ice cream being on that same Roadfood list. I'm sure I'll … [Read more...]
Waterbury Button Museum
This Museum is as Cute as a ... Waterbury (Google Maps Location) August 2009 CT Museum #135 When you're the third smallest state in the US and you still manage to cram in so many hundreds of museums, it stands to reason that a good percentage of them will be tiny. I've seen my share - and can't determine which … [Read more...]
Polish Food at Polish National Home (Closed)
ZachwycajÄ…cy! Polish National Home, Hartford June 2009 The building was sold to a church in December 2022 and no longer exists at the PNH. In researching this write-up I came across the same theme over and over. So I'll follow tradition and dispense with the mild cliché right off the bat - The Polish National … [Read more...]
98. New Britain Youth Museum/ Hungerford Park
We Hunger Ford More Youth Museum! Kensington/Berlin (Google Maps Location) April 15, 2009 Update: This place is now known as Hungerford Nature Center. Tax day. And what could be more taxing than corralling Damian at a museum without Hoang to lend a hand? (Eh, it's not that hard. It was just a good turn of a … [Read more...]
