CT: New Haven County- Southford Falls (Winter Waterfall)

Our temperature is neck to neck with Anchorage Alaska today at 25 degrees which I felt within the icy chasms of Southford Falls. I was surprised to find ice fishing, hockey and kids out ice skating on the pond. I would worry about weaknesses in the ices depth but they all were having a greatContinue reading “CT: New Haven County- Southford Falls (Winter Waterfall)”

MA- Berkshires- Shelburne Falls

Along the Mohawk Trail you’ll find Shelburne Falls. Such a quaint small town with its famous and beautiful Bridge of Flowers.

MA: Berkshires-Mount Greylock

Opened through October 31, the visitors center offers a caretaker who has worked there for 50 years and knows the mountain as if his own.

I tend to look up covered bridges near where I’m going. This one had an overlook to view down upon the waterfall and bridge but not at my angle of preference A bit brazen I know, I walked down an incline.

CT- Litchfield County-New Milford- Harrybrooke Park

I have enjoyed kayaking from Lovers Leap through the waters into Harrybrooke park and finally made it into the park on foot.

The park offers dedicated pavilions for events as well asContinue reading “CT- Litchfield County-New Milford- Harrybrooke Park”
