I grew up in North Haven, and there was never a shortage of riding spots. We had rices sandpits, Tollies and the railroad tracks, Cyanamid toxic dumping grounds (heck we used to power our smokers with touline in 55 gallon drums leaking about when fuel got low. Nobody said boo and we tread lightly. Now there are DEP signs just about every nook and cranny with threatning fines, even full roads that were washed out by the connecticut river over 30 years ago, taking houses and property were never redeveloped
and those signs are more then an eyesore then the 100s of dollars spend to block off the land and do literally nothing with it. Its a shame what everything has become in this town, But our house is still getting pelted with HANDGUN bullets from hunting season, I dug out a .380ACP from the side of the house this feb.. We still allow hunting and the toxic grounds are still cordoned off with barbed wire, and im sure all the glass jars with the honey looking stuff is still buried under all that sand. 30 years later and I don't have an extra arm, or cancer yet... But I can't ride in my old "hood" with my kid and still dodging bullets.
