Newtown, I remembered, is a location that we pass through when we travel to New England. Part of our route crosses the Nutmeg State in a northeasterly direction, as we connect with Interstate 84 near Danbury.
On the way back home, we simply reverse direction, enter Connecticut from the Mass. Pike, and hook up with I-84 south towards Hartford.
Every single time on those trips, we pass over a highway bridge bearing a sign announcing Newtown. Deep below courses a narrow, dark blue stream dotted with homes along its shoreline.
