Today was another late start for me trying to catch Providence & Worcester train NR-2 heading into Groton. As I was driving north, the radio was somewhat silent – no aparent sign of NR-2 anywhere…until I turned onto Fairview Ave, and crossed over the bridge spanning the south end of […]
Well, I took advantage of two things this morning – a hole in my schedule, and a short bout of sunny weather, sporting blue skies and Simpsons-esque puffy white clouds. The target this morning was Stoddard Cove at Stoddard Hill State Park in Ledyard, CT.
