Awesome pics. I'll be in CT tomorrow to check out a few places. I'm also going to take time to sightsee.

Visited two forts today, One on each side of the Thames river. Ft Griswold in Groton & Ft Trumbul in New London.

Ft Griswold was the site of a massacre of surrendered colonists. The Colonial commander actually cerimoniously capitulated, handing the British officer his sword. The guy took it & killed the commander. Its a pretty interesting little bit of stuff went on there. After they massacred the garrison they burned Groton & New London.

This aint real.

This is,













Dont ask, I'm not sure & he wouldn't say. :lol:


Those were Griswold, there is a memorial tower built in the 1800's & a museum type thing. Thats these,








Shootin irons,








Sewing stuff.




These next are fort Trumbul. Its a newer fortification used into the 20th century. Its named after the Governor during the revolution. Governor Trumbul was the ONLY colonial governor in office that was elected by the people, rather than appointed by the king. He was also the only colonial Governor to side with the rebels. Its easy to be proud of NE & CT in particular.

Anyway, heres the pics.




A pic of Fort Griswold across the Thames.







We were going to go inside but filling the car cost me $70 & left me with $2 cash. It was $14 for all of us to get in & they dont do ATM's. I was wore out anyway.

To add some life to the thread:

This is Limerock Raceway park during a private track rental for a Lotus meet my old business was part of.



Limerock is one of the most beautiful race tracks in the nation. It's regularly called "The Victorian Lady Of Racetracks". If you ever get a chance, check it out.

They let you into the infield as well to watch the races and unlike smashcar you can actually walk around the pit area, see the cars and enjoy yourself. You are not confined to a stadium seat next to a drunk redneck.

Hello everyone!! I'm new here, but I thought I might post some pics here as well. I am totally an amateur photographer, but anyway, here are some pics of Milford:

Hi all. I have never been over here to the CT forum. But I must say I am certainly glad I did pop over here tonight. These photos are all amazing. CT is beautiful.

That lobster was the biggest one I have seen!!!

The amusement park looked kinda spooky. I didnt see any fog in any other picture, so....

njguy the video you posted was amazing!! The music couldnt be more fitting. NE is just gorgeous.

Hi Sky.

I see Country posts here too. She is our Country Angel on the NH forum.

Have a great night everyone.
