Just because both were running does not mean both were working...115 was towing the mini to Stamford for further evaluation. Also the Danbury mini with the 114 was having issues last night and was yarded in exchange for a maxi set for their last round trip to SoNo.

Very nice! What is the location? It appears to be the same as where your avatar picture was taken.

It is indeed the same place.

It's in the woods in Naugatuck State Forest.
