Just Driving to the Elephant's Trunk Flea Market: From Granby to New Milford, Connecticut.
Welcome to my new channel devoted to just driving, walking and hiking videos. Unlike the videos on my main channel, Flea Bitten Adventures, these videos will have little to no commentary. I'm sure some of you will enjoy these videos and others will not. That's OK. Personally, I like to watch these types of videos when I walking on the treadmill or using an exercise bike. They make me feel like I'm running at 45 mph!
This video is me driving from Granby, Connecticut to the opening day of the Elephant's Trunk Flea Market in New Milford, Connecticut.

    44, 8, 202 to 7. Nice but 84 is likely faster on a Sunday am. I know scenic route for vid.Also at 1:09.23 you pass a closed hamburger and hot dog stand called Clamps its only open from late April or early may thru mid September, it has no ph# /, even address, not even a sign. Its the best hamburger in the state, since 1939. Trust me, try it.

    50 years ago I took all of my swim lessons on Silver Beach. The building remnants are those of a Convent that was wiped off the island in the 38 hurricane (I think that was the hurricane) Some time in the 70's the power company wanted to build a generation plant on that island. And keep in mind that several people have drown being swept off that bar as the tide is coming in.

      @@fleabittenwalkanddrive It can be four to six feet, small power boats often cross it at high tide as a shortcut into Milford Harbor. If low tide is overnight, fishermen will tell you active deer herds from shore routinely go out there to feed. Many people have been lost here over the years trying to walk the bar when the tide overtakes them.

    How high does the sandbar get once it covers the sand? My Dad use to carry me to the sandbar when I was little at Sound View. There was a spot of water that went over our heads and then we would be on the sandbar. So smooth and soft😃

    I went out there in my Dad's small sailboat in 74', anchored offshore and did some serious exploring in the middle before there was any trail. I succeded in finding something worth all the crawling through the underbrush - a 6ft shrine of Virgin Mary, which I learned later must have been leftover from when a monastery was there.

      @@jlucasound I was 17 and had spent summers in the junior sailing program at Milford Yacht Club for several years. We had a tradition back then of a "Around The Island Race" to end the summer, followed by the mooring of the boats and going onto the little sandy beach for a cookout. So much fun ! I guess that was why I was curious afterwards to check out every inch of the island I could get to.

Some years ago, the Hartford Marathon Foundation organized a series of summer races called the Extreme Scramble where you went up one set of stairs, across the overpass, and down the other side as well as went into the woods near River Park and over some dirt piles from the construction.
