Lion(fish) and Tiger(sharks), Oh My! Mystic section of Stonington (Google Maps Location) October 11, 2007, etc. I've been to the Aquarium a few times since the initial visit that most of this page is based upon - and have gained a greater appreciation for it over the years. In 2016, I fixed up the pictures here a … [Read more...]
Cusgutter Falls
Aw, Cuss. Cusgutter Falls, Bristol March 2008 For a longer description of the hike on the Cascade and other Tunxis Regional Trails in Southington and Bristol, you can leave and go here. Aw, cuss... I’m writing up these falls in 2016. I hiked past them nearly eight years ago. If you’ve been following CTMQ for a … [Read more...]
Gorge Cascade Falls
I Saw a Gorge At Least Gorge Cascade Falls, Hamden July 2011 For a longer description of the hike on the Red Circle Trail at Sleeping Giant, go here. It's a bit silly of me to write up these falls with only my one visit to them under my belt. For the simple reason that my visit came in the middle of a dry … [Read more...]
Spruce Glen Falls
Fall Away From the Highway Spruce Glen Falls, Wallingford January 3, 2016 When I found my way to the end of an industrial road in Wallingford and set out on my hike around the Orchard-Spruce Glen land trust property, I had no idea people would actually care. I can never predict which things I write about … [Read more...]
The Rock’s Rock
The Rock's Rock West Hartford If only Picozzi would give this rock to The Rock, it could be The Rock’s The Rock Rock. And that would totally rock. I’m not going to waste our time here. But I did read an interview with a former 106.9 WCCC DJ who was asked about this rock. It used to sit in front of their weird … [Read more...]
Leatherman’s Cave via Park Road
"'Leathahman' Slept in Here, WHAT?!” Leatherman's Cave via Park Road, Watertown December 13, 2014 This page will not spend too much time getting into the whole Leatherman thing.

Indian Council Caves
No Indians and Not Caves Indian Council Caves, Barkhamsted October 20, 2013 I’m not going to get into our fine state’s habit of naming boulder jumbles and overhanging cliffs “caves.” It’s what we do and what we’ve always done and we’re gonna keep doing it, goshdarnit. So with that, no, these caves are not caves. … [Read more...]
Cascades Near Balance Rock Road
No, Really, It's Called "Cascades Near Balance Rock Road" Hartland October 2013 Hoo boy, this entry is a bit of a stretch. I’m not sure anyone would qualify these cascades as being worthy of inclusion in a book about Connecticut’s waterfalls, but here they are. Granted, I’m sure they are more impressive after … [Read more...]
The Auncient Oak (Gone)

On the morrow morning Ricciardo went to an auncient woman of his acquaintance, who was the Mistresse of a Bathing-house, and there where he had appointed … [Read more...]
Sessions Woods/Negro Hill Brook Falls
Falls so Cool They be Ice Sessions Woods Falls, Burlington February 2014 The Connecticut Waterfalls 2013 guidebook notes that these falls are “south of Burlington," which would mean Bristol. They are not in Bristol, I promise. Anyway, these falls are as far away from the Sessions Woods visitor's center as … [Read more...]
