This week. folks, what do you
say II we make our trip to Ham
monasset, the state bathing beach?
Well. you needn't be nasty about
it-we're going. anyway. and II you
want to come along just follow
these directions:
Leave New Britain via South
Main street and the Beach Bump
road into Kensington, turning left
through holes in road and railroad
underpass to Berlin, then right, and
take first left down hill.
Danger-another bad hill just
ahead. but you should have seen it
in the days of buggies and no con-
crete roads. Nov it is just place
to speed.
East Berlin-avoid cemetery and
soldiers monument in the worlds
smallest park, bearing right along
the main (and every other) street.
TIE take sharp left over narrow
bridge and next right into
Middletown-This town was
named because it was formerly be-
leved to be the exact middle of the
state, and though this was wrong
the city is still the center Of the IN
sane jokes of Connecticut. Turn
right on Main street, keeping on
right side of manholes and the po-
lice, to foot of street, then go left
and right few times until you
lose count. If you have done this
correctly you are on high hill, il
not you are in the river and must
drop out of the game.
Detour-road torn up. Go back
six PAGES to Middletown and try
again, going out southwark to
Durham-This is really the town
name, no bull. Straight on to
Rockland.-The name sounds
mountainous, but the place is, ac-
.ually a swamp.
North Madison. Don't get dis
outraged. We're almost there. Can't
'ou smell the salt air of the sound?
lust mile or two more and you
will BE inhaling the delightful odor
If Connecticuts sewerage.
Madison-Turn left toward Gin
on. You are now on the post road
md are fair game for motorcycle
ops. Turn right to
Hammonasset Beach. Park be-
ween ridges, hitting as few other
'ars as your purse limits you to.
hen repair to beach pavilion Look
t three-fold line of prospective
'athers waiting for lockers, remem-
'er that the beach rules require the
'athing jersey to be worn outside
he trunks and that your jersey
sn't that kind, realize that you
ant wait till dark and sneak in
hen, and give it up as a bad job
till, the day cannot be allowed to
Ass without something to show for
he trip. Walk out pavilion and roll
Yer four or five times in the pro-
usely growing beds of poison ivy,
nd then you will have no trouble
onvincing your friends that you
ctually went to Hammonasset. And
Thy?
