I took a bunch of photographs of signs during my recent adventure and I thought I might offer them to the 12MC audience as a quiz. How many Connecticut geography extremes can you guess?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can cheat by using this map.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/d\/embed?mid=1qOZYvDZCaV8zjuStEx79m1l-nrw\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Who am I kidding? I&#8217;m doing this because have a tremendous amount of material and I haven&#8217;t figured out how to present it best. I have photographs to select, videos to create and upload, and all kinds of written narrative to prepare. However, I didn&#8217;t want to leave the 12MC audience hanging <a href=\"\/blog\/?p=11310\">after announcing the adventure<\/a> a couple of days ago. I hope you&#8217;ll accept this little appetizer as a consolation prize with the promise of more to come over the next few days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of these photographs are ridiculous. You&#8217;re not supposed to be able to guess all of them. Others will be obvious. They&#8217;re more for your personal enjoyment so don&#8217;t take them too seriously or stress about how many you get right or wrong. You should also feel free to simply keep scrolling if you can&#8217;t wait and want to reveal the answer quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">(1): Makes me want to run<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howderfamily.com\/graphics\/blog\/connecticut-take-back-notch.jpg\" alt=\"Southwick Jog. Photo by howderfamily.com; (CC BY-NC-SA 2.0)\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Answer: <\/strong>Southwick Jog &#8211; It&#8217;s Massachusetts but it was <a href=\"\/blog\/?p=409\">stolen from Connecticut<\/a>. Take back the notch! I visited this the day before the adventure officially began when I heard it was only about fifteen minutes away from my hotel. This was a good catch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">(2): Mmm&#8230; doughnut<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howderfamily.com\/graphics\/blog\/connecticut-donut-shop.jpg\" alt=\"No Loitering Sign. Photo by howderfamily.com; (CC BY-NC-SA 2.0)\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Answer:<\/strong> Donut Shop Sign &#8211; We began the adventure here. The sign doesn&#8217;t mean anything other than I thought it was funny because it seemed to imply that Connecticut doesn&#8217;t want cops loitering at their doughnut shops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">(3): A stroll through the woods<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howderfamily.com\/graphics\/blog\/connecticut-highpoint-trail.jpg\" alt=\"Mount Frissell Trailhead. Photo by howderfamily.com; (CC BY-NC-SA 2.0)\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Answer:<\/strong> Mount Frissell Trailhead &#8211; Gateway to Connecticut&#8217;s Highpoint. This also leads to the Mount Frissell summit (in Massachusetts) and to the Connecticut-Massachusetts-New York tripoint. That&#8217;s quite a collection of geography for a single hike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">(4): Tongue-twister<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howderfamily.com\/graphics\/blog\/connecticut-deepest-lake.jpg\" alt=\"Wononskopomuk Lake.

Photo by howderfamily.com; (CC BY-NC-SA 2.0)\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Answer:<\/strong> Kent Falls &#8211; Connecticut&#8217;s Tallest Waterfall. A trail goes to the top. I didn&#8217;t take it. That became a recurring theme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">(6): We&#8217;re covered<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howderfamily.com\/graphics\/blog\/connecticut-covered-bridge.jpg\" alt=\"Bulls Bridge. Photo by howderfamily.com; (CC BY-NC-SA 2.0)\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Answer:<\/strong> Bulls Bridge &#8211; We weren&#8217;t sure if this was the most homely covered bridge in Connecticut or for the entirety of New England. It deserved some kind of honor, though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">(7): Big but unnatural<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howderfamily.com\/graphics\/blog\/connecticut-largest-lake.jpg\" alt=\"Candlewood Lake. Photo by howderfamily.com; (CC BY-NC-SA 2.0)\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Answer:<\/strong> Candlewood Lake &#8211; Connecticut&#8217;s Largest Lake. It&#8217;s a lake. No glass dogs are allowed. We kept driving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">(8): You are not worthy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howderfamily.com\/graphics\/blog\/connecticut-southernmost.jpg\" alt=\"Great Captains Island Ferry. Photo by howderfamily.com; (CC BY-NC-SA 2.0)\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Answer:<\/strong> Great Captains Island Ferry &#8211; Gateway to Connecticut&#8217;s Southernmost Point. It&#8217;s very difficult to reach the point on a single ferry cycle, although probably less difficult than a non-resident of Greenwich successfully jumping through the hoops necessary to be able to ride the ferry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">(9): Great place for a casino?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howderfamily.com\/graphics\/blog\/connecticut-indian-reservation.jpg\" alt=\"Smallest Indian Reservation.

I placed an arrow on the photo to show you the reservation sign. You can&#8217;t read it.
