    Default Hiker Box - northern CT?

    Does anyone know if there is a water drop and/or hiker box on the northern CT section of the AT?

    I've seen water containers placed at Guilder pond on dry times,but that is just over the border into Mass. All of CT. has bear boxes.

    Silly question, is a hiker box a bear box? Many, but certainly not all, sites in CT have a bear box. As you near Mass you find them more often than on the NY side.

    I was hoping to help out and keep one stocked for the season, someplace easy to get to but safe from hellions and bears.

    Oh so you are talking about trail magic, that's kind of you! Off the top of my head I can't think of anyplace that people consistently look to for trail magic in that part of the state. I'd hesitate on putting anything at (for instance) one of the Rt. 41 trail-heads since those get absolute oodles of traffic.
