All right, time for a big one.  Here are the pictures from my day trip up to Connecticut back in the fall, one of the longer trips that I've taken since the coronavirus pandemic began.  Highlights include the previously missing section of the Yankee Expressway (I-84) eastbound between Danbury and Waterbury, the eastbound side of I-691, CT 66 between Meriden and Middletown, and the southbound side of the CT 9 expressway.  Enjoy!
