I believe the bridge by the valley, which always floods in heavy rain or snow melt, and then another spot about halfway further up from there, I think by the kennel. There was a nasty accident about a month ago and it was right where the road gets really rough... I wonder if that plus the early snow that morning caused it. I see drivers ahead of me sometimes that drive into the center of the road in an attempt to lessen the impact, so it's not just me, and I drive a chevy impala so it's not my car either.

You should drive that way more often... I think that valley is my favorite sight in all of Glastonbury. If you enjoy hiking, there is a path off of Ash Swamp Rd that will take you into it from the back, I think from your side you'd take Weir St. It's amazing!
I agree, that part of Glastonbury is beautiful and if I had my way, we would have been living there 15 years ago in what I felt was my ideal house. But things prevented that move and nothing has compared to that house so we stayed where we are and made the best of it.

I really do not know of any section of Hebron near town that is bad, at least the pavement. I was going to take a ride out your way to see but something came up that prevented tht. May try today. Jay

Off Exit 8 on 95, you have to go under a tunnel to make a right on Atlantic Street. That whole area to the train station (about 200 feet) is filled with awful patch jobs. Even though I live right there, I wouldn't mind going another way if they take the time to pave it correctly. I should bill the state for the new alignment I will need.

That area is awful. I drive it everyday on my commute. It's like off-roading, its so bad.
