Let's Visit New London, CT
Located along the Thames River, New London, CT contains a beautiful, historic waterfront district with a lot of great historical buildings, restaurants, and a beautiful harbor area. The city also has the historic Union Station which is a railroad stop for services such as Amtrak. In the video, I take a walk along State St and Bank St as well as the harbor area.

Autumn Fall Foliage

Foliage color generally starts to change in the higher, cooler areas of the Green Mountains, spreading down into the Lake Champlain Valley and Connecticut River Valley, and moving from north to south across the state. The exact timing of the color change varies from year to year, based on the weather.

Mount Ascutney, Vermont - Travels With Phil
Mount Ascutney is the site of a State Park in eastern Vermont. At 2,270 feet above the surrounding territory, it has a great view from the summit. On a good day, you can see at least 4 states.
Mt Ascutney Recreational Trail Guide Link:
My Ascutney Parkway Brochure:
History: The origin of “Ascutney” is from the Abenaki “Cas-Cad-Nac,” meaning “mountain of the rocky summit;” an appropriate name for this prominent mountain peak rising abruptly from the Connecticut River valley. A permanent settlement, “Ascutegnik,” of peoples of the Cowasuck band of Abenaki tribe existed on lands near the mouth of the Sugar River. In modern geographic terms, this is across the Connecticut River from Ascutney Village on Route 131. Native peoples likely hunted, fished and camped around the mountain particularly at lower elevations.
Over time, European settlers adopted the place name “Ascutney” to refer to both the white settlement on the western side of the Connecticut River, and the prominent mountain peak. The mountain has long been featured in the history of Ascutney Village, the towns of Weathersfield and Windsor, which it lies in, and in the state of Vermont. Mount Ascutney was home to the first purposebuilt hiking trail in the United States. A group of local residents constructed a trail in 1825 to coincide with the visit of dignitary Marie-Joseph Paul Yves Roch Gilbert du Motier, Marquis de Lafayette (known commonly as General Lafayette, a French aristocrat and military officer in the American Revolutionary War). While Lafayette didn’t end up visiting the area, the trail became popular regionally. The next trail was built in 1858 and approximates the current-day Windsor Trail. This carriage-road style trail led to the high-elevation Tip Top House, which capitalized on summit tourism which was popular at the time. The modern trail system dates to the late 19th century and now consists of 4 base-to-summit trails on state land. The Ascutney Trails Association, the oldest trail organization in the United States, was formed in 1903. Park development occurred in the 1930’s as part of the Civilian Conservation Corps and in the early 1960’s with campground expansion,. The Futures Trail was built in 1983. Most recently, a new camping loop of cabins opened in 2018.
Across the river from Windsor, Vermont in the rural town of Cornish, New Hampshire, a collective of artists and sculptors settled with the peak of activity from the 1880’s to the 1930’s. Thus, the area became referred to as the Cornish Colony. Notable artists that lived in the area were Augustus Saint-Gaudens, Maxfield Parrish, Charles Platt, Thomas Dewing and writers Winston Churchill and J.D. Salinger. The estate of Augustus Saint-Gaudens is now Saint-Gaudens National Historical Park, part of the National Park System. - Travels with Phil copyrighted by Phil Konstantin -
