Wunnee's Cave, Bolton Notch, CT
Visit the cave at Bolton Notch, above Route 44. Location: N41° 47.410 and W072° 26.791. The GPS unit isn't legible in the video - too sunny, I guess. NEW: take a left at the end of the aluminum highway bridge. Perhaps the speed-limit sign (mentioned in the video) has been moved?
The seventeenth-century story goes that Wunneeneetmah or Wunnee, of the Podunk nation, and Dutchman Peter Hager, lived for a time in this cave, where they were hiding out from authorities, who forbid interracial marriage. .MVI 0223

Brunswick Mills, Moosup,CT / Lack of Erosion Control (4)
Today is April 7, 2016. Video taken at 12:47 pm in the middle of a rain storm that is expected to drop 1.2- 2 inches of rain on the area today.
No sign of town officials documenting this erosion that is making its way into the Moosup River watershed.
To date 4 engineering companies have all issued document that spell out that the following Erosion Measures are to be implemented and the town officials refuse to implement the licensed engineers requirements.
Some of those requires are:
1). Silt Fencing ( non in existence ).
2). Hay bales surrounding the piles of overburden ( non in existence).
3). Hydro seeded piles of overburden ( non existent, in some of these piles have small bushes growing out of them.
4). Lack or Erosion bond to cover the expense of getting this site under proper erosion management.
5). Employees who work here daily are not aware of CTDEEP Stormwater Preventive Measurements that they are listed as supposedly having under their control and responsibility.
The Mystery of Colebrook Cave
In 1868 a book was published called American Adventure Volume I. This book was full of shipwrecks, great escapes and other feats of daring. Toward the back of the book a story appears about the discovery of a cave in Colebrook, Connecticut. There are many legends just like it all over New England but what sets this story apart is the early date of discovery and the grand proportions of the cave, making it unlike anything ever discovered in the region.
In 1841 three boys are said to have stumbled upon the cave. Fearing it would be too large and too dangerous for them to explore they returned home to tell their family and friends. An exploring party was organized the following weekend. The entrance was widened and the men entered a vast underground space with a floor like a gravel road, a high ceiling and smooth walls. The men carried on into the hill for some distance. They encountered water filled pits, side passages and heard the sound of running water in the distance. After pushing in a quarter mile they finally turned back. In the early 20th century the story of the cave had resurfaced. One party is said to have used dynamite to enlarge what they thought was the entrance. But for all the stories no hard evidence has ever been brought forth.
Over the last few years I studied the story over and over and each time came to the same conclusion: it’s a hoax.
The story has lingered on my mind and I actually felt a little guilty having called it a hoax without ever having seen the site in person. So I decided to meet up with Eric Taylor an explorer of the wooded hills of Colebrook. We headed out to ask for permission from a local landowner to push back into the hills from their property. After gaining permission we set out toward the rocky hillside once called Witch’s Retreat. As we walked north on the hill we saw no sign of any sedimentary rock where caves are most likely to form. The entire hill is granite, this means that the only type of cave that could exist here is a talus cave, one formed by large slabs of fallen granite randomly forming walls and a ceiling. We found many small talus caves but none with standing room and none that penetrated more than a couple feet into the ground. I sat down in one such crevice tired, hot and frustrated. I noticed a spider web fluttering in a breeze emanating from the rock. This is what I had been looking for! A cold draft of air flowing from deep in the crevice. Then we found another clue, staining on the floor indicating the presence of an intermittent stream of water. I looked around some more and found freshly broken rock, could this have been the result of a stick of dynamite placed by an overzealous cave hunting party? We had walked the entire hill side and only in this particular spot found the anomalies or air flow and water, could these be signs that the famed cave of gigantic proportions is near? Or, maybe these features were what sparked the imagination of amateur explorers long ago, who had described, only what they had imagined was surely just behind the jumble of rocks. We will most likely never know for sure.

****This Is My Ridgefield - LYRICS****By Georgie Brennan (2013)
(I) Walked passed Cass Gilbert's Fountain
The Keeler Tavern and The Aldrich
The hardware store around Catoonah on Main
Church bells ring down Branchville Road
Marchers parade while muskets explode
Ballard Park green within walls of stone
This is the town that I call my home
This is my Ridgefield
This is the place
At the foot of the Berkshires since 1708
Mamanasco to Pierrepont from Great Pond to your heart
Here's where the tigers all roam
In this Ridgefield town that I call home
Old Glory unfurled down the front of town hall
Bagels from Steve's the colors of Fall
The rec.center, playhouse, CHIRP, the holiday stroll
(I)Walked in to Bissell's Pharmacy
Picked up The Press waved hi to Donna and Ed
Nora said how the kids have all grown
She watched them grow up in this town they call home
This is my Ridgefield
This is the place
At the foot of the Berkshires since 1708
Mamanasco, to Pierrepont, from Great Pond, to your heart
Here's where the tigers all roam
In this Ridgefield town that I call home
Our heralded schools
Culinary delights
Manicured fields with games under the lights
Driving 35 to route 7 just today
Ridgebury to 116
102 to 33
This is my Ridgefield
This is the place
At the foot of the Berkshires since 1708
Mamanasco, to Pierrepont, from Great Pond, to your heart
Here's where the tigers all roam
In this Ridgefield town that I call home

Secret Underground Railroad Cave!
The Thanksgiving weekend included a trip back to see family in Connecticut, and an unexpected adventure to a secret cave on my in-law's property! Rumor has it, this cave was used by the Mohegan Indian tribe, as well as an underground railroad safehouse for black slaves freeing the oppression of slavery in the souther states. Such an amazing experience.
