Just posted a new news link in General - didnt see this thread. I have reservations at the NW Camp right in that area next weekend. Between the fire, fire-breaks and re-cutting the forest roads for...

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...
Another fun fact:
Winsted, CT has a Laurel Festival every year during which local girls will compete in a mediocre beauty pagent where they crown the Laurel Queen.

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...
My $.02, Molly did the right thing by tenting elsewhere. In my experience volunteering with the homeless i have found that there are 2 kinds of destitute homeless, which this person seems to have...
I dont know what is availible down your way in AL, but in the North East the AMC has "Beginner Backpacking" weekend trips. Something like that may be a good way to cut your teeth and get a feel for...
Thats why i left it as "perceived". I know quite a few people who have graduated from law school in the last few years. Each of them came out with $150k+ in loans and are all struggling to make the...

Much of the AT in CT is fairly close to road crossings, and pretty heavily traveled by weekenders and sectioners. In addition to the forest fire risk, there is the thought that once all the dead...
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...
So I had the tent out this weekend with the dog, and it worked out great. It held up fine through a really hard rain overnight. After setting it up in my back yard earlier in the week I decided...
You only have 2 days? Thats not nearly enough time. For that matter I dont think that 2 months is really enough time to see Yellowstone. The Old Faithful area is definately a must see.

If you are heading up to Pawling on Metro North out of Grand Central, Tents and Trails is really easy to get to. Once in GCT take the #4 subway train downtown to the City Hall / Brooklyn Bridge stop...
I just got this tent for hiking solo with my dog and love it. While it is for the most part free-standing it does require a min of 8 stakes to tie out in order to hold the sides and vestibule out. ...
I love leaving my Blackberry at home and forgetting I have a job.
I love laying down in the sun on vista and falling asleep for a few minutes in the afternoon.
