Indian Council Caves Trail

Had a very nice little over 8 miles hike last Sunday near Barkhamsted.  They say it's one of the top ten in CT.  It had it's steep ups and downs and it kept the heart pumping.

Don't you ever feel like this sometimes.

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.
