| no partners | | | I'm back in Connecticut for the summer. I did an approximately 8 mile hike in Chatfield Hollow State Park / Cockaponset State Forest in Killingworth. It was a drizzly morning, but suitable with a raincoat and by halfway through the trip, I could take off the coat. The hike was with the local Appalachian Mountain Club Chapter. As such, there were sixteen of us on the hike. It is hard to stop and take photos with a group that size. We hiked on multiple trails through the Park and the Forest, starting from the parking lot along CT-80, taking the Chimney Trail (green) to the Lookout Trail (white) to the East Woods Trail (blue), back to the Lookout Trail, to the Ridge Trail (red), stopping for lunch at the mill pond. There were a pair of cormorants fishing in the pond, and we watched one swallow a fish bigger than its own neck! Then continuing on the Deep Woods Trail (orange), to the Pond Trail (orange-white), back to the Deep Woods Trail. After crossing the road, we walked the Paul Wildermann Boardwalk, and finished back to the cars on the rest of the Chimney Trail. The track I published doesn't completely cover any of the trails except the blue-blazed East Woods, trail. It is pieces of all the rest. |
