Roxbury, CT

To some, the state of Connecticut might seem like one huge bedroom community serving New York City. But some of the most remote sections of New England can be found in this tiny state. And while the little town of Roxbury isn't quite in the middle of nowhere (it is maybe 15 miles west of the city of Waterbury), much of it remains unspoiled. This photo, which was taken in October 2006, shows a meandering river that goes alongside Route 67, a beautiful road that leads west to the classic New England town of New Milford.
