Devilishly Handsome Chapman Falls, East Haddam I am all-too aware that my pictures of Chapman Falls are some of the weakest on the internet. I know that hundreds of people visit Devil's Hopyard State Park every day and take better pictures of these falls. I've been to the state park, one of the more popular … [Read more...]
BLT: Fetzer Property & Falls (Private)
I Love This House Fetzer Falls at the Fetzer Property, Burlington May 2015 Writing CTMQ has been a great way for me to meet some really interesting people over the years.

Bailey’s Ravine Falls
AYYYYYYYYYYYYYY(ers) Bailey's Ravine/Ayers Gap Falls, Franklin September 2018 There are, quite literally, still thousands of things for me to do in Connecticut. Many of those things are not exciting.

Ledge Road Connector Trail
Oh Boy. Ledge Road Connector Trail & Boy Rock/Great Stone Face Sunset Rock State Park, Plainville July 2018 Cutting to the chase - the purpose of this page's existence really has nothing to do with the trail of the title.

Bunnell’s & Burlington Falls
A Little Burly, Bro Bunnell’s/Burlington Falls, Burlington June 2018 I don’t take pleasure in breaking the law. I’ve very rarely done so in my life and when I have, I’m talking about silly stuff like getting to these falls. To do so, I parked in a No Parking Tow Zone and then trespassed on New Britain Water … [Read more...]
Enders Falls
This is No Game Enders Falls, Granby Multiple visits A stairway has been built along the trail since my visits below. An alternate title for this page is “Wiggin Out.” That’s for all you sci-fi nerds out there. “This is Not Game”... “Wiggin Out”... both refer to Orson Scott Card’s seminal novel Ender’s Game of … [Read more...]
Civil War Beech Tree
War’s a Beech Civil War Tree Granby It’s 2018 and I’m editing old Granby posts before “releasing” the CTMQ Complete Guide to Granby and I came across this from my Colton-Hayes Tobacco Barn Museum post of 2008. Because of its apparent uniqueness, I’m not bestowing this chunk of tree its own hallowed page on … [Read more...]
Carpenter’s Falls
Couldn’t Build a Better Falls Carpenter’s Falls, Granby April 2018 As of this writing, I’m trying to sort out my “Complete Guide to Granby” and you may be surprised to learn there’s a lot going on here.
