AT HUGGINS GORG: Popular Picnic Spot Attract: Families to West Granby The roster of ideal Sunday trips would not be complete without mentioning one that is a decided favorite with New Britainites, judg- ing by the number who take it. The try to Huggins' Gorge In the northern part of Connecticut is re- ferred to. Huggins' Gorge is in West Granby. People from all parts of Connecticut and Massachusetts can be seen there on pleasant Sundays and the num- ber of cars lined up near the gorge reminds one, for all the world, of the parking space near a baseball park. The trip from New Britain is through old Connecticut and the beauties of this state are never more in evidence than they are along the road leading to the gorge, up hill and down, through quaint old towns and past ancient farmhouses. Through West Hartford, to Sims- bury and then on to West Granby the scenery is constantly changing. Now the view is of rugged hills; now it resolves itself into rolling to- | | hacco fields. The roads are good and the motorist will find himself in Granby before he feels that the trip is well started.
