(This is a little backwards of how I came
across the New England National Scenic Trail, http://newenglandtrail.org/. I plan on
checking it out fully later on.)

“The landmarks
are named like the features of a Harry Potter adventure: Lost Lake, Great
Fallen Cliff, Indian Cave, and Plank Walk. One expects to find some miniature
grablenurfs dancing in the crag between split-rock-cypress,” it is written at the
Connecticut Explorer Blog. There are many beautiful photos here, such as the
above, which starts me thinking about the Ethnographic Cultural and Ceremonial
Sacred Landscape underlying the modern, and this one below as well:
Has someone at some time modified that stone into that
rather testudinate shape, a turtle-like carving or "sculpture" in the bedrock?"
And aren’t there similar marks, perhaps made by a stone hammer,
making a semi-circle in the bedrock?? Is that a double row of stones in the
pond? Isn’t that one more than a little testudinate??
Another post
reads: “The Menunkatuck Trail is the first/last leg of The New England National
Scenic Trail. It extends North from Long Island Sound at Guilford Harbor to a
junction with the Mattabesset Trail in North Branford. The 16 mile trail
crosses through The Cockaponsett State Forest, Tiimberlands Preserve, and Nut
Plains Woods. Other sections are along roads through Guilford town center.
There are several good parking areas, and the trail may easily be split into
three segments.”
I see places I’d be taking a closer look at…
