Here's a place that anyone in Conn. can find as Hwy 8 bisects it.
When I was a kid (am 60 now) I use to live up at the end of Sylvan lake RD. in Oakville,Conn.
Anyways once there it forms a Y , the bottom leg is Sylvan Lake RD, The left arm went to my house and the Dwyers house,
the right arm went to the barn and a small farm workers house. Now just before you get to the barn there is a dirt road
to your left it goes down quite a ways almost to Waterville , but down this road about half to three quarters of a mile ,
just before you get to the high tention electric wires on the left hand side is the old dump.
This dump had been there since the 1800's when it was first started.
From the last time that I was there in 1982 the barn has burned down. When I was a kid that was the one place on earth that I have always loved. Heck that's where I learned about smoking corn silk, That if you put a spigot on the drain to the corn silo you could get drunk after straining the juices through a milk filter, That peperoni came in a big stick, that night fishing was fun, and as I got older girls were more fun around a farm.
