Sanford's Pond 4/24
Message:
You ready for a good laugh? Pull up the satellite image of Sanford's Pond (Danbury) on Google maps, zoom in and take a look at this unnecessary freaking hike I did on Easter morning. I parked in the lot to the south, crossed the road, walked along the train tracks, then followed the eastern shoreline until I found an open water with enough room to cast. Spent a while there, then decided I wanted to try the north shoreline. Now look at the size of the watershed area on the map and tell me how dumb I was to continue going counterclockwise. I had no idea it went on that far east...couldn't see over the hills and by the time I realized how screwed I was I had already hiked through miles of hilly & swampy tick-infested forest. I looped around to Joe's Hill Rd. and walked up that until I could find a way back down that wasn't deadly steep. Caught 5 bass on jigs, lost another 2 at shore. I did catch 2 bass on the north shore but I also spent 2 hours getting there so it wasn't exactly worth it. Anyway, it's a cool place if you like ticks and/or bass. And it meets my criteria of looking like the set of a Tim Burton film.

Looks fine on my browser anyway.
