I'm asking my... uh... "boss" now about it. Trying to find where this place is. Yahoo Maps is giving me a red dot in northeast CT. Does that sound about right? Anyone have any idea how long it takes to get there from Boston area? I've heard that the roads in that part of CT are slow going.

From boston you would want to take interestate 90 west to 84 south then take route 190 east for about 10 or so miles into staffords springs. Not sure on how long it would take you.... Hope to see you there!

Gordo · 10-04-2002, 08:31 PM

Take Mass Pike to Sturbridge / I-84 Exit. Take I-84 West to Exit 73.
Follow Route 190 West to Route 140 in Stafford Springs. I would guesstimate about 1 1/4 hours from Boston. This is a fair size meet that you can easily spend a day at.

There must be more New England truck nuts out there! The swap meet/show season is quickly coming to the end and this swap meet/show/sale is worth the trip.
