    Wanna hang at Schagticoke Mountain, CT, on 3/17?

    If anyone wants to join, I'm heading up there to hike and hang with my buddies KyBob and GMarc. KYBob says it's a 4.2 mile hike in on the AT Trail and there's water near the campsite.

    My two sons might come along, but I'm not betting the farm on it.

    That's tempting, and I might actually be able to get away next weekend. Where exactly is the campsite? I don't remember there being a site on Schagticoke.

    I'll have to talk to KYBob. It's his neck of the woods.

    I had passed thru there just a few weeks ago so I may try to figure something else out but I may still be in for this.

    Are you parking at 341?

    Still trying to shake strep/flu. Looking like I'm out unless there's vast improvement which feels unlikely.

    If this remains the case, I'll be planning something along the AT, NY/CT/ southern MA for the weekend of the 31st.

    Well, we decided to add a night but I have to get permission from significant other. Friday 3/16 we're going to have dinner at Bull's Bridge Inn at

    http://www.bullsbridge.com

    After dinner, we will night hike (wait - it's daylight savings time - it will probably still be light!) approximately one mile south on the AT to the Ten Mile River campsite just over the iron bridge where Ten Mile River dumps into the Housatonic River. I've been there before and it's a great campsite. Nothing like going to sleep with the sound of a river!

    In the morning we'll hike back to Bull's Bridge, and then 4.4 miles north on the AT to the Schagticoke Mountain campsite. KYBob assures me there is boatloads of running water throughout this area.

    I'll post the final plans tomorrow if anybody wants to join. I can't wait to try out all my new gear - GoLite Jam 50L pack, Dutch Flyz & Hook, Emberlit El Mini titanium wood stove, and the piece de resistance, my HG 4 season Cuben Fiber tarp!

    I've already had several quality hours alone with the tarp, making him a Zing-It ridgeline with Dutch Hook and Flyz, attaching tarp to ridgeline with soft shackle prusiks, and working on the guy-lines and tie-outs. We've grown very close in the short time we've spent together!
