the chickens are just an unnecessary risk that i don't understand, they're always in the road and that hairpin turn is a magnet for insane drivers.

there are quite a few fields and meadows down that road. one is part of a preserve that connects to some trails, and an old farm road; the others are on private property... there's a great overlook of waramaug from a point at the end of the road, through some fields. some cool four wheeler trails too. LOTS to see and explore in those woods. there's even caves!

my ex roommate's family is the strong family, that dedicated the preserve at the chimney.
