Spring So Late It’s Summer
I followed strange sandwich plate trail markers at Thortonbrook Preserve (in the queue to add) and traveled the mountain bike trails of Moween (in the queue to update) by foot. I hiked the Nipmuck trail section north of Rt. 44 which nearly completes my section hike with just the last mile before the Massachusetts border left, something I’m saving for a special movie.
Speaking of movies, I released my first one in awhile about my hike on the Metacomet at Pinnacle Rock. I hiked up Rattlesnake Mtn., down Will Warren’s Den, over to Pinnacle Rock, and sought out the 1700s inscriptions on Hospital Rock. Hospital Rock is one of the most visited pages on this site and I knew those two miles of trail would be packed with history and wild wonder.
It’s also finally time to start filming Explore Connecticut: Season 1. I have three episodes planned and rough ideas for another set. Now comes the difficult yet rewarding work of piecing them together. Episode 1 will take place at Gillette Castle and should be ready soon. I’m excited to try to make my vision match the execution.
Ideas I’m considering for the site:
- A “Where to Start” guide
- Features like trail distance, main features, and perhaps a rating to the map popups
- A gif for each location
Around the State:
- CFPA – Events Calendar
- June 21st – Summer Solstice Evening Paddle 5-7PM
