While browsing around the library for something diverting to read, I came across a binder called the Connecticut Walk Book. For some reason I picked it up and started flipping through the pages.Inside the book are trail details for some great hikes throughout the state. They range from the duck pond down the street to the 26 mile stretch of the Appalachian Trail that passes through the Western part of the state on its way to Maine.
Yesterday (I know - Mother's Day) Susan and I picked a trail out that starts near Barn Door Hill road in Simsbury and continues into Granby's McClean Game Refuge. The walk was awesome - we were just about the only people for miles.
I've posted a couple of photos of really cool things we saw. The first was a turn of the 20th century manure spreader; at least that is what my sources report. A small secluded pond was the second. I wouldn't have taken too much prodding for me to have stayed.
Hannah's Simsbury team stole the show, beating out other Connecticut High Schools, at a regional ballroom competition. Standing out from the crowd, Hannah was awarded a number of ribbons.
She's enthused about dancing and does it well. Someone, and I'm not sure who, took a ton of really cool photos. I've picked out a few that I enjoy. To see more, please visit Susan's Facebook page, or contact Susan directly via e-mail.
That's all for now. Back in touch soon.
