Roaring Brook Falls

 Roaring Brook Falls in Cheshire CT is a nice hike.  Quite steep in places so you need to be in decent shape and ready to walk.  It's accessible from 2 different trails.  One is about a mile and half hike in and the other 3-4 miles.  You can Google it for the start locations of the trails.

Mohawk State Forest

Great views from here Rt 4

 This state forest has limited parking and no modern facilities.  The views are fantastic.  Can't wait to go up again when the leaves turn.

Saving a being and yourself

For those of you who have never rescued an animal or those of you who have.  Here are some pictures of a friend of mine as she meets her new best friend as she gets of a truck that brought her from a high kill shelter in AL to a new great life in CT.  She's a 4-5 year old overbred basset lab mix scheduled to be PTS until a rescue stepped in and she found her furever mom.

Barkhamstead/Beaver Book

 Barkhamstead Reservoir in NW CT is a beautiful area and m/c ride. 
Beaver Brook is one more fun place to visit.  Rafting, fishing, picnics all in the area Pleasant Valley CT and Hartland.
Well worth the trip. Oh and Pleasant Valley has a working drive in theater.

Campbell Falls

 What a great find.  Ok it's been there on the CT/MA border forever and a state park shared by both states since 1906 but we just found it.

Well worth the trip it's just off Rte 272 in North Norfolk CT.  The falls are about a 1/2 mile walk from the parking.  You can climb behind them or swim in the pool at the bottom.  Plenty of trails to hike and not a lot of people.  No fancy amenities just an outhouse.  Keeps away the riff-raff.
Hope you enjoy it.

Commercials for morons

Bring back the old TV commercials for BB guns cigarettes, booze, cars etc.  They were tastefully done.  I'm tired of laxatives, male and feminine hygiene products, anti depression pills pro depression pills.  Were you stupid?  Good you can sue some innocent person or company because you're a brainless idiot.  Totally useless and tasteless ads made for morons just like the reality TV shows.  Stupid has taken over.

Global What?

Thanks to Global Warming I see we're having new events at Memorial Day picnics this year. Yeah snowball fights, dog sled races, skiing, ice skating. Just to name a few. Oh and alternate side of the street parking will probably be suspended.
