Valley Brook Church Trails
Lift Me Up (To The Top of The Hill) Valley Brook Church Trails, Granby December 2020 As I begin to write about the trails at this large church in North Granby, I'm suddenly wondering how many mapped and blazed public trails exist at churches around Connecticut. Probably not too many, but I don't really have any … [Read more...]
New England Motorcycle Museum
A True Triumph Vernon (Google Maps location) November 2018 CT museum visit #405. Here we are, at another museum that I can't do proper justice to while writing about it. I just don't have any motorcycle knowledge or background and since I had Damian with me, I didn't quite absorb all that my guide told me. … [Read more...]
Christensen Pond
Horsing Around Christensen Pond, Granby November 2020 Look, if I made the effort to "hike" here, the least you could do is spend the next 90 seconds of your life reading about it. No? You don't? Of course you don't. Why would you? You could at least look at this pretty picture though. See? It looks like a … [Read more...]
The Ref (1994)
"Mary, Gag Your Grandma" The Ref, 1994 It's a Christmas movie! It's a Connecticut movie! It's a Christmas in Connecticut movie! About... sports?

The Dinosaur Place at Nature’s Art Village
Digging Into Your Wallet Montville (Google Maps location) June 15, 2014 I'm wavering. Do I spend three paragraphs lamenting the prices at this place or do I celebrate the fact that Connecticut has an honest-to-goodness tourist trap? Actually, I think I can do both. And for the record, I don't consider our few … [Read more...]
RWA: Genesee Trails
I Gen eh See How It Is Genesee Trails, Guilford & Madison January 2021 All Regional Water Authority (RWA) properties require a purchased permit to access. Hot on the heels of my very first RWA hike down the coast at Maltby Lakes, I was all jazzed up for a dawn hike here, at the Genesee Property. I'd learned … [Read more...]
Over AndOver
I Can't Beat the Original Pun Over AndOver, Andover The only reason this page exists is because the people responsible for this mish-mash used furniture and upcycling artisan store and hangout named their Andover store Over AndOver. It is not a store that sells anything I'm interested in and it's not a hangout … [Read more...]
