  • Connetquot River State Park Preserve

    Most people would pass it by without even knowing it is there. A small, and I think perilous, unassuming entrance comes on the side of sunrise highway just before “the merge” where sunrise becomes a highway and service road.

Today with technology and cell phones and non-stop everything grabbing for your attention, everyone misses the simple, small things. People should just stop…
