And CT is a Shall Issue state so long as you have a clean record, the class, fingerprints and a checkbook.

I would reccomend good thin, wicking poly-pro liners and Burton snowboard gloves. The pair I have now are 4 years old, have stood up to sharp edges, tree branches and about 25 days of riding a year....

I dont know what researcher you got that information from, but its surprisingly contradictory to what the Department of Environmental Protection here is CT says. The coyote population is directly...

I live about halfway between Hartford and Bulls Bridge, I would give you a ride, but I will be on my own week long section on the AT / LT up in VT. Public transit in this area is pretty poor. Short...

I think what bothers me about this whole thing is the "Look at me" attitude. An ivy leaguer, lawyer or "city chick" hiking the AT is nothing new, unique or novel. Im sure many of us out there know...
