Towards the end there is a section where you see what is described
as a section of road on the Mohawk Trail. The remains of the road
are being bulldozed into the river. I am fairly sure it is Route 2
and I now I know why that strectch is so freaking rocky!!! Can some
of you MA lifers confirm?

Yes, the Mohawk Trail is now Route 2 (don't know when they started calling
it Route 2). The whole Connecticut Valley was affected by that hurricane.
My father and his brother lived just above the Chicopee Falls. When the
bridge was washed out, they 'borrowed' a rowboat from a neighbor and ran a
ferry for several weeks.
