Autumn in Collinsville, Connecticut

A day in Collinsville, Connecticut

Situated along the Farmington River is The Collins Factories from which the town was named, it was the axe factory of the Collins family. The main building now hosts weekend farmers market, and kiosks of  artists, and craftsmen and designers.

Catskills Fall Foliage

The date of this MTB ride in Minnewaska State Park Preserve was agreed upon several months in advance. However no amount of planning assures that you will see the fall foliage at its peak. We got lucky as the colors and the weather couldn't be better. Minnewaska Preserve is part of the Shawangunk Ridge located in a sparsely populated area in the Catskills. The carriage trails provide the most spectacular views. The Nature Conservancy has designated the preserve as one of the "75 Last Great Places on Earth".
