April 2011

Spring has finally reached New England!!  I'd like to share some photos from a few short hikes of one of my favorite places: Mendell's Folly.  Mendell's Folly is one of Bethany, CT's largest tracts of open space, consisting of some tremendously diverse areas: old cattle pastures, logging land, wetlands, rocky slopes, beaver ponds... A really nice, albeit short trail to hike if you've never done so.
