You may recall that my friend Cherry and I participated in the Connecticut DEEP‘s Sky’s the Limit challenge over the last few years. This year, due to COVID, this challenge was not offered until October 5. Cherry has decided to not participate this year, but I am going to try to march forward.

The 2020 challenge encourages us to get outdoors and experience locations, preferably close to home. By the end of December, we are to visit:

• three state parks,
• three state forest, and
• three blue blazed trails

We are to photograph ourselves at a sign that indicates the location, and write 50 words about why we went there and what we liked about it (sort of sounds like fourth grade, but I’m OK with that).

I intend to post here the sites that I am including in this challenge, not in any order of visitation or on the days of their visit.

I encourage anyone else to participate, either officially or unofficially, in Connecticut or any other state. Get out, get hiking, stay safe.
