Mapping out 2017 section hikes, and thinking of scheduling a week hiking through CT in mid-May. Our section will go from Great Barrington, Massachusetts through Pawling, New York.
SOBO or NOBO? If there's a preference, why?
Any reason why mid-May wouldn't be a good time for this section? I assume all the snow is gone by then, and the bugs haven't gotten real hungry yet. We don't mind some chilly temperatures, so long as it's not dangerously cold. We're okay down into the teens.
Looks like mid-week resupply options in Kent or Salisbury. Probably don't need both. Which would you recommend?
