Shake Your Pom-Poms Pomfret Recreation Park Trails, Pomfret November 2020 Look, unless you live in Pomfret - which is a lovely town - you're not going to hike this trail system. If you come to Pomfret you're going to go to We-Li-Kit Ice Cream Stand and calling it a day. (I tried to go in late November. Alas, it … [Read more...]

Sperry Park & Falls
Sperry: Not for Sperrys Sperry Park & Falls, Woodbridge January 2021 Sorry Woodbridge, I'm letting your secret out of the bag. It's just what I do. And I won't stop here either, as I darn well know of other things within your borders that you like to keep to yourself. Although I guess in non-winter, non-pandemic … [Read more...]
Hoppers-Birge Pond Nature Preserve
Oh Snap! Hoppers-Birge Pond Nature Preserve, Bristol October 2014 Downtown Bristol, baby. Certainly one of the favored whipping posts of state residents. Not quite a big city, not a suburb, Bristol falls somewhere in between; a post-industrial small city that never regained its footing after several large … [Read more...]
NFA: Brunot Preserve
B-U-C-O-L-I-C Brunot Preserve, Newtown September 2014 Here we are, together again... writing (me) and reading (you) about a small little land trust parcel on the Newtown/Bethel Border. Surely there's nothing too interesting about this typical slice of land that was once a farm and is now a forest - the story of … [Read more...]
Barnes Nature Center & Pigeon Hill Preserve Trails
A Baby Pigeon! Barnes Nature Center & Pigeon Hill Preserve Trails, Bristol & Burlington November 2020 The super fun thing about pursuing my ridiculous goals for this website is keeping on top of things in towns which I've "completed" previously. Take Burlington. I "completed" Burlington in 2018 and it's … [Read more...]

MLCT: Summer Hill Trail
Summer Mapped, Summer Not Summer Hill Trail, Madison January 2021 Madison has many very nice little trailed properties. State Park, State Forest, Water Authority, CFPA... trails everywhere. Beaches, forests, and fields. It's great. And the Madison Land Conservation Trust has over a dozen properties throughout the … [Read more...]
Avalonia: Barrett Preserve
Grin and Barrett Barrett Preserve, Ledyard January 2016 It's always moderately interesting to hike through managed forests. Especially if they are being actively managed like Avalonia Land Conservancy's Barrett Preserve was when Damian and I checked it out. Several acres here burned in 1989 after which … [Read more...]
Auer Farm
All Things Auer Farm Bloomfield Auer Farm is referred to as "Auerfarm" just as often as "Auer Farm". I don't know which is more correct, so you'll see it both ways on the various pages I've written about various aspects of the park and farm. And oh, there are several pages - enough to warrant this page. If … [Read more...]
Auer Farm Trails
An Auer of Chaos Auer Farm, Bloomfield December 2020 All Things Auer Farm, which is also called Auerfarm. This page is a bit silly. Not that Auer Farm is silly - it's not. The page is silly because I have too many separate pages on Auer Farm. And now two separate pages on the trails at the property. (The … [Read more...]
