We are set to meet up with Kent’s sister, Tammy, in Hartford next week so we are heading that way today.  Our destination, Waramaug State Park in Connecticut.  We zig-zag our way east on lots of county and lesser state routes through some lovely small towns.  Some are clusters of cottages with a smattering of historic roadhouses and Inns and some are collections of old mansions and new behemoth summer homes.  The drive is short, just two hours, and uneventful.  Waramaug is a small park and sites pretty close together but it should be just fine for our short stay here.  Occupancy will likely fall dramatically during the week.  No Verizon service again though.  That is a bit of a bummer.  Investigating trails and local activities is a bit of a chore.  We will see how it goes.  Signs posted at the dumpster warn us to be careful of the mama black bear and her three cubs who have been raiding the dumpsters of late.  Of course, I’d love to see them but know that they will get in trouble if they don’t keep their distance.
