Lol. That was a light dusting, not real snow.
What we really need is a couple storms in a row like a decade back when we got like 8-10in every day or every other day for a week. In front of the Norwalk Barnes and noble there was a pile of snow as high as the street lights. It was awesome (literally).

Definitely doable, however in that area you will need a vehicle. Mansfield, Ashford, Storrs & Willington are low crime areas but more rural. Stay out of Vernon/Manchester if you are concerned about crime. Good luck & welcome!

Talk about a misleading title!
I don't know this structure, but I differentiate between a tunnel under a natural object--Lincoln Tunnel, Holland Tunnel, Ted Williams Tunnel, etc. and a crossing underneath a man-made object. There isn't enough in this photo to know whether what is likely a railroad track was built up or if this is a naturally occurring obstacle. Along the MetroNorth tracks in a fairfield County there are multiple structures similar to this startong just over the NY line, underneath elevated railroad tracks.
Most important is that CT has a pair of serious tunnels on the Wilbur Cross. The tunnel in this photo isn't particularly unique. .

I appreciate the feedback. It was a fun episode to produce.

I'm from Montreal but spent my summers in Redding at my Uncle's (still go often). Where was that tunnel. I remember a small tight tunnel as a kid.

Reply to “Off the beaten path” camping spots by BanditCT
The Appalachian Trail run through the north west corner of the state. There are about 44 miles or so in Connecticut. It is a beautiful rocky hilly hike and there are designated camping places along the trail. Part of the trail runs along the Housatonic River, I’m not sure if it is only catch and release. You can also get permits to camp at various state parks in the state on the DEEP website.

Ummm. Maybe. Depends on the lifestyle, how many cars and expenses. I would say it would be tight it you like to go out for dinner etc, travel etc.

I grew up in Manchester, went to elementary school/middle school there and it wasn’t bad. My parents enrolled me in the crec school systems for highschool. Overall growing up there wasnt bad, I lived on side of Manchester near bolton/vernon which was pretty nice. I think it depends on where you are in the town personally.
