A semi-secret coffee stop with home made bread on the north side 2nd Connecticut Lake. Definately off the trails and definately worth the visit. Not cheap but good quality and you really don't go there for the coffee anyway...it is actually a social stop with beverages.

Note that the access trail only shows two ski tracks.

If you have the chance, do try to find the place and stop in! It may be the highlight of your day.

Never stop questioning.

I used to play role at Chronicle in Boston so I am aware of what to look for. Yes, I agree.

  • He certainly has the social personality, not a Ted Kazinski
  • The visuals are compelling
  • A good storyline including his girlfriend

The downside is that he may not want the publicity because he is "off the grid" and that may include certain governmental filings, etc. Just a guess.

I have his lat/long as well as his email address of you want to pursue.
