No sh%t! Small world. I don't get back to CT much, but there's no doubt in my mind...the CT River rules, and kicks butt over all the Havasu / Colorado river stuff out here.
I got hooked on Sutphens staring at a guys boat in Bloomfield when I was a kid...I think their last name was Jarvis? Maybe the kids name was Clayton. They had a wicked Nascar all stripped down and street legal. Like 600hp in a sleeper. My kind of people!
BTW- I used to work at Mitchell Saab, just down the street from your house.

I know the boat I think it was mext to the milk business up there just over the mountain. I heard that boat burned to the ground when the buildong went up.
I have a 875 HP 69 firebird. I street drive it around simsbury sometimes.
Thats why I only habe a 20 sutphen. The drag car sucks up money like a sponge.
So cal is great though. I used to go out to glamis all the time.
And my buddy owns recreation unlimited it used to be on Kuttela AVE. He rents ATVs, Dirt bikes etc.
I think its closer to huntington now if I remember correctly.
I always had a great time out there.

yep, the thimbles are just around the corner from the state ramp in branford..it's a fun place, not spectacular, but cool...and the river that the ramp's on has 2 decent restaurants on it...if you're down this way, drop a line...

I have wanted to take my wife and kid out there I haven't been there since I was a little kid.
We took my fathers old 73 nova out there.
I remember them having a floating restaraunt or something out there.
It was like pontoon boat I think.
