Heublein Tower At Talcott Mountain, Connecticut
Heublein Tower, originally referred to as Heublein Castle, was built by Gilbert Heublein as a summer home and gift to his wife-to-be. Today, the castle located atop Talcott Mountain, or as some would say Avon Mountain, on the Metcomet Trail, in Talcott Mountain State Park is a popular place to hike for panoramic views. I pieced together this footage after hiking up the trail on a crisp summer day. At the start of the first video footage, some background noise of others on the trail will be heard, but once I enter the castle, or tower if you prefer, the filming was relatively devoid of background voices though occasional natural echoing from the stone walls from within the castle are somewhat audible. I narrated the video footage while taking the clips and took some photos as well to insert when later stringing together the video footage. Today, the castle is listed on the National Registry of Historic Sites and is opened to the public in good weather usually starting Memorial Day at the end of May and running through to October when the park is in peak foliage for the autumn colors.
For those interested in when the castle was first built, construction started in 1914 and ended in 1917. The castle was modeled to look like a Bavarian Castle, which explains its towering height and narrow structure.
Some additional information from the Talcott Mountain State Park's website provides information about Talcott Ridge, where Heublein Tower is located:
The 1,000-foot high promontory provides a splendid view of the Connecticut landscape. On the horizon, Mount Monadnock, eighty miles away in New Hampshire, is discernible. To the northwest, the Berkshires dominate the horizon. Long Island Sound is revealed as a thin blue streak to the south. Those with sharp vision can see an area estimated to be 1,200 square miles.
In 1999, The New York Times ran a review of the tower, calling it Tower of Romance, Tower of History. Find the review at:

Exploring river underneath the city of Hartford
The parks river otherwise known as HOG river. Flows directly for 3 miles underneath the city of Hartford. created in 1940 due to flooding. The hog river is one sight to see and is a canoers dream. The parks river got it's nickname Hog river because the river is polluted. The main entrance is covered in graffiti. As one walks into the tunnels it becomes as dark as the eye can see. There is a abandoned car in the conduit as well. With a few escape hatches and cat walks that lead to the streets of Hartford. subscribe for more muscle.
