Jelly of your lift and psyched for you! I do like CT and it's beautiful but I've been here my whole life and have to trek up to VT, upstate NY, NH, MAINE, PA for my camping needs. Mostly everything here is locked down and actual campgrounds are super crowded. I enjoy solitude and besides backpacking it's hard to find a place you can just turn off a country road and dissappear on without running into trouble with police or private land owners. I have spent some time hanging with friends in places like TX, CA, CO and Utah and those mountains and views just do something to me. I would kill to be able to just turn down a road and dissapear into the dessert or mountains like I see some of you doing. Not trying to thread jack and my 14 TEP is stock besides KO2's but if you know of anywhere in the area I can go get lost for the day or maybe camp out in some sort of solitude with some water PM me!!! I'd be forever grateful.
