[CT Daily] 03/30/2008 BULLOCK'S ORIOLE

[Roy Harvey]

Note and apology: The directions I posted previously for reaching 60
Orchard St, Canaan, were wrong.  They said to go north on Rt 7 from
the intersection of Rt 7 and Rt 44, but it turned out that Rt 7 jogs
to the west at that point and the road I was thinking of was not Rt 7
at all.  (Thanks to Don Morgan for the correction.)  So the correct
directions:
From the intersection of Rt 7 and Rt 44 in Canaan, go north on 
for less than half a mile on North Elm St.  Orchard St is the first
left turn.  60 is the last house on the left (south) side BEFORE the
corner.
This map link might be too long to work.
