Sorry Myron it's the route 74 exit or exit 69


Okay, with those directions, I'm pretty certain that I'm either going to be
totally lost, or else fishing in someone's backyard swimming pool. Exit 69
off of whcih road? And is it route 74, or exit 69?

If he's directing you to the Willimantic River in the Kollar Wildlife
Management Area, it's lurking behind the I84 west-bound rest area near
Stafford Springs.

Get on I84, and eventually get off exit 69, which is for rt 74. If you had
been heading west, you take a right at the first stop sign; if heading east,
make that a left. Either way, your next turn is the first right off the
overpass, onto North River Road. The river will appear on your right in a half
mile or so, and parking spots will show up along the next mile.

This is a stream I reserve for Massachusetts' celebration of "Patriots Day" -
because Connecticut doesn't have such a holiday so it keeps their workerbees
off the streams ;-)
