Easy backpacking overnight in CT

[@jeffstone28]

Hi Scott. I tented at the Windsor Locks site last night. I searched on KZbin this evening for any videos about it and yours popped up, so it's good to share my February hike with you. I actually hiked from Turkey Hills Road, where you parked a couple of years ago and did it in that direction. Yesterday I parked just over the Massachusetts border at the Rising Corner Road trailhead and did the 5.4 mi southbound. Had similar views from the ridge much of the way. Although it wasn't very cold, only getting down to the mid 30s last night, the wind was roaring all night. Fortunately, this tent site is sufficiently downhill and protected from the actual wind itself. It was just real loud. And I'm not even going to mention the airplanes lol. I heard coyotes in the distance a couple of times last night, which adds to the ambience. I actually was planning last week to hike up somewhere along the Tunxis Trail but was warned by people that you can't just tent there without a permit in advance. Not that I didn't think I could get away with it but hey...

Great video brother. You’re right, CT needs more places like that.

Awesome video! I recently moved to CT from Atlanta and love all the hiking, preserves and incredible natural beauty!

Dope video! My lady and I are going to try and find this location if it still exists. Also, I used to manage a restaurant in Manchester, CT, you were definitely my beer rep. Cheers!

I always appreciate your videos! It’s great to see someone showing what’s available in CT.

Right on, thanks for mentioning the underquilt, I am looking to step up my hammock game and will check them out. ATB, Gary.

Great to see some CT trails and a place to set up camp that is a quick hike and with a water cache even! How great is that! Keep the videos coming, Thanks for sharing.

Next month I am going to go and camp on top of catspaw mountain in Meriden

Did that trip last year on the 4th of July, definitely appreciated the water cache!

Clicked on it because I'm in California :) Need as much outdoor videos as I can get. I probably won't be getting out until the SoCal hammock group hang in October.

Bummer man! Good luck getting out there!

Very nice video. I've parked at the same spot and hiked that trail until I hit the next road and then hiked back. I've also gone to that road and parked and hiked further up the trail. I've been thinking of doing a quick winter overnight at that spot. Thanks for all the information. You have a very nice style for the videos - good commentary and music, nice tips, etc. I think I'll subscribe!
