Emerson J. Leonard Wildlife Sanctuary Turtle Trails
I Like Turtles Turtle Trails, Wallingford September 2022 Trail clarifications in the comments below! Thanks Mary! I used to get annoyed with myself when I'd obsess over these little trails that no one is looking for online or in the wild.

East Coast Cidery (Gone)
Why? East Coast Cidery, Enfield September 2022 I see no evidence that this operation still exists. I'm calling it closed in early mid-2023. It crossed my mind for about two seconds to drive up to Enfield to "visit" East Coast Cidery. But only for two seconds. There would be no point in my doing so. East … [Read more...]
Quinnipiac River Linear Trail
A Bang! Bang! Trail Quinnipiac River Linear Trail, Wallingford September 2022 There was a time when there were no dedicated bike trails like this in the state.

Hill-Stead Museum
Pretty as a Picture... I assume Farmington (Google Maps location) July 2018 Hill-Stead is... a lot.

It is a museum, of course, and there are also trails to hike around the … [Read more...]
Bushy Hill Cidery at Clark Farms
Gridlock in Granby?! Bushy Hill Cidery at Clark Farms, Granby September 2022 "Go to Clark Farms" they said. "It's cute," I was promised. "Quiet little out-of-the-way country store atmosphere," was the pitch. Yes, I'm friends with a few Granby residents. One has taught and worked with my older son for years. I … [Read more...]
Butterfly/Fresh Meadow
Triple Fresh Buttlerfly/Fresh Meadow, Wallingford September 2022 This small parcel owned and maintained by the town of Wallingford goes by the name of Fresh Meadow.
