Anyone out there from Connecticut?

[jessicacomp]

I just moved to Simsbury, Ct and am sooo bored. Ive hiked every evening that I've been here, but then the sun sets and I go home to sit around like a loser. Anyone want to be my friend that lives not too terribly far away? anyone? I'm awesome, I swear.

There are WB members from CT.
2XL,Old Grouse, Tin Man, Gsingjane and there are others.

Perhaps a get together hike on a weekend for CT WB's to meet?

The wink was supposed to imply the comment was in jest. I was simply hoping that would come across, but perhaps not.

That would be awesome. I am fairly good at making friends, but I dont even know where to meet people here!!! Once my friends who are on the trail this year hike through CT, I feel like I have nothing to look forward to.

I live in Connecticut, unfortunately a bit far from where you are. I keep thinking some time I will get out to hike for a couple days, but recently I have been working way to much. I do intend to take some time off to hike when the people I know on the trail get up this way, you would be welcome to join me on the trail then.

As for other things to do in Connecticut I am not sure I have ever found much of interest to do around here, but I will let you know if anything exciting is going on.

[jessicacomp]

hey tank, that would be awesome. let me know when you plan on doing some hiking, and i will try to join you!

I'm from Connecticut, too, but probably way out of your target age range. I'm pretty much a solitary hiker, but wouldn't mind meeting everybody if we ever have a local group get-together. Anyhow, welcome to whiteblaze.

You have a great restaurant in the center of town - it used to be called the One Way Fare and it is in the old train station. I stopped there just over a month ago and it had a pretty good crowd.

Get over to western CT and there is the AT to hike plus some nice "blue trails" - You could always setup and do some trail magic. A good place would be the Sheffield-Egermont Road that runs from Route 7 in Sheffield, MA (Just over the line from Canaan, CT) to Egermont, MA.

I will be heading back that way in Sept and will be doing some shake down hikes solo or with my brother, Iceman (GA>ME 2007), on sections of the AT in the New England states.

I am sure after you have been there awhile you will go from this to this

Good Luck

I'm from CT but not there anymore. Nowadays I'm in the Boston area. And I'm OLD, too! ;-)

There is lots of hiking in Connecticut. Get yourself a copy of the Blue Trail book. And head on out to western CT and MA on the weekends and go hiking on the AT. Also, there's a very active group of hikers in the Connecticut section of the GMC. www.conngmc.com

I am in CT as well Two Beers. I know a few good places for hikes (the lime mines near the casinos, sleeping giant etc). You can give me a ring at 8603356270. I have a sick family member so I am off the trail for the season and would love to go on some hikes

Hey you Nutmeggers: just a reminder that a bunch of us are meeting on Sunday, 7/20 for a 12 mile day hike from Rte 17A to Rte 17. You're welcome to come along. I'm heading out tonight for several days, so if you want details, PM LIHikers. PM me if you want to carpool over from, say, Danbury.

Blackberry, did you hike with Forge this season for awhile? i think he mentioned you, and if so then I have heard of you! Where in CT are you from?

I did hike with forge for quite some time. I am in the Old Saybrook / Old Lyme area of CT. Maybe 20 mins south of New London. I have wheels though, easy enough to get around and get to trail heads. Ive lived in this state for quite a few years so I know a few good places to go hiking.

[rootball]

Is the Devils Hopyard still a good place to go? I left Conn over 20 years ago, but I used to love that place.

[Chaco Taco]

Two Beers, we should be in your neck of the woods in a couple of weeks. We are in Vernon, NJ now and heading North in the am. Keep a lookout for us. You have Jens number right??

[The Snowman]

Devels Hopyard is nice place for a day hike pretty waterfall and the trail to the look out is a good workout. check out the AMC great groupe of people to hike with

I dont know if two beers has a car, but Colonel Chaco if you guys need anything, give me a ring I can drive down to kent to meet yall
