Hiking Shenipsit Trail, Shenipsit State Forest, Connecticut

Hiking the Shenipsit Trail in -- what else? -- Shenipsit State Forest, in Connecticut. I started at Sodom Road on CT-190, in Tolland County between Somers and Stafford Springs, south to CT-140, climbing all 300 ft. of Soapstone Mountain along the way. It was very green, but the #flowerporn was unfortunately Rated G. The next day, it was off to Stafford Motor Speedway for an Endurance Karting race!

Garlands demolition.wmv

A walk around the old Garlands hospital when it was partly demolished. Now, most of the buildings in this clip are gone. If, like me, you have worked or been treated there, this clip will be packed with memories. Its a pity they knocked it down, the quality of the old Victorian stone buildings was excellent. It could have stood for hundreds of years to come. The old psychiatric hospitals did have many good aspects, as well as bad ones.
