Re: Connecticut anyone?
I can think of one good thing about CT ................... The stretch of I-91 between the MA line and Hartford has to be the smoothest bit of interstate highway in New England.... At least they got something right ... Trouble is that going horth you get so used to the wonderfull ride then cross into MA and hit a washboard at 65 mph
