Hey all!
I've recently gotten the itchy 'go hiking' bug returned to me after a three month absence post-thru hike, so I was wondering if anyone else in the Southern New England area wanted to do some weekend hiking? I'm thinking sometime in the next month or two.. But I recognize the holidays are coming up and the next two weekends are a big fat no for me. I've got (currently-situation may hopefully change) fridays-sundays off and would love to do a short loop or end-to-end hike with some others!
I'm not a super experienced winter hiker (don't like snowshoes/ice axes) but I started my thru hike on the 26th of February and went through half the smokes-would've done the other half, but I had some knee issues. Rooster's pictures in the smokies really do it justice-I was about a day behind him.
So, I'm thinking either AT in CT-MA maybe southern VT or another trail-my brother mentioned the pemi in NH, but I'm not sure how exposed/wintry that one gets, so I don't know. Possibly the midstate/metacomet monadnock trail?
Love to hear from some other new englanders who need to get out on trail!
