well this flash dash of interstate 684 across connecticut may be
the shortest such interstate highway interstate transit in america
& for the first decades of its existence
when i was practically living on it
it performed this flash without so much as a raincoat
not even an interstate route indicator shield saying connecticut
rather than new york in small print above the number 684
& certainly no welcome to connecticut mat
nor welcome back to new york
in either direction
i believe the reason for all these omissions was that greenwich
the connecticut town involved
is quiet money
but anyway i commonly amazed & amused fellow travelers thru it
by swearing we were in connecticut during that passage
when all their believing & seeing flatly denied this
or at least couldnt support it
i even won a few wagers over it too
i believe there may be shorter interstate dead ends
such as possibly interstate 66 in dc
but dont know of any shorter state crossings
& which reminds me
if you &or arif &or anyone else would still like to do the pchcjbe
aka petit central hudson central june border exhilaration
with the shortest interstate line in america & its official blueprint
i am still able & willing
except monday june 16
so please do proceed if & when ready
