4.63 miles ★★★ this is a connecticut blue-blazed trail, the sign for which i’ve passed many times on route 2. i’ve always been curious, and just this morning, i found my 1997 copy of the connecticut walk book, so i looked it up and decided to try a section. i walked the northern end, from […]

3.31 miles ★★★½ wow, first time i ever cut a planned hike short, but this was much more hikey than i thought, and was taking just too much time. also, too, the bugs were ferocious. nice hike, and i’d like to do it when i have more time and there are fewer bugs. it would […]
