Bigelow Hollow State Park & Adjacent Nipmuck State Forest Union, Woodstock, Massachusetts Grrr. And Brrr. Grrr because in reality, Bigelow Hollow State Park is actually pretty small - containing a few loop trails, campsites, and Bigelow Pond. But no one differentiates the state park from the larger Nipmuck State … [Read more...]
Mansfield Hollow State Park & Wildlife Area
Mansfield Hollow State Park & Wildlife Area Mansfield & Windham You're not going to find too many references to the Mansfield Hollow Wildlife Management Area. But in reality, the WMA has more land acreage than the state park. But it's all one chunk of land and lake, so it's ridiculous for me to even make this … [Read more...]
Kriz Farm Horseshoe Pile
Krizt! Kriz Farm Horseshoe Pile, Bethany January 2021 Once in a blue moon a reader alerts me to something in Connecticut about which I was wholly unaware. After writing everything on this website for so many years, that's not bragging... it's just a fact. And really, would that even be something to brag … [Read more...]
CTMQ’s Guide to Middletown
Everything Middletown 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” Middletown CTMQ-style... as well as the other 168 towns, cities, and boroughs in Connecticut. That is the ultimate goal of CTMQ. … [Read more...]
Cedar Bridge House
Bridge Over Troubled Listing Cedar Bridge House, Glastonbury Oh snap, this is another page about something that I have not actually visited myself. I think that makes maybe three out of thousands on this site. (Warning: there will be more, mostly about private homes that I can only admire/gawk at from my keyboard.) … [Read more...]

That's Welch Bethany Land Trust, Bethany January 2021 An important piece of information you should know when setting out to hike little parcels and preserves in The New Haven County Black Hole (Bethany, Prospect, northern Woodbridge, and eastern Beacon Falls) is that there is often nowhere "official" or … [Read more...]
CTMQ’s Guide to Glastonbury
Everything Glastonbury I’ve been exploring and writing about Connecticut since 2006. After a decade, I began compiling CTMQ guides for each town in the state.

Toggy the Two-Headed Goat (Gone)
The G.O.A.T. Riverview Farms, Glastonbury I believe ol' Toggy has been removed. How awesome is this? It's Toggy, the two-headed goat! She was born on January 21, 2008, right in the room we were standing in! Just a genetic abnormality, Toggy had two spines too, but only one set of organs. I think it was … [Read more...]
Case Mountain Recreation Area Intro
Case Mountain Recreation Area Manchester & Glastonbury Case Mountain drives me nuts. It's a town park in Manchester but everyone thinks its a state park. The "mountain" with the view is not Case Mountain... Its Lookout Mountain. There is no view from Case Mountain. The trail network is messy. Oh you want … [Read more...]
Meshomasic State Forest Intro
Meshomasic State Forest Colchester, East Hampton, Portland, Glastonbury, Hebron, & Marlborough I can't promise you that this page will ever be complete. Yes, I like to be thorough and almost always am, but when it comes to the Mesh... it's tough. It's big and it's sprawling, sure, but most importantly it contains … [Read more...]
