Outstanding Brother 🔥🇺🇸
That sure is some beautiful country.
Biscuits and gravy on a hike. Hell yeah!!!
Holy smokes brother. It looks like it was raining pretty hard!!! Nice peaceful hike for the most part. What a great hiking system!!! That's pretty cool your going to do the whole thing. Thanks for bringing us along my brother 💯🇺🇸
Oh bro it was pouring buckets for a bit but eventually tapered to a drizzle lol. Doing another bit of it this weekend. Thanks for watching it bro! Hope you have a great weekend!
@@ConnecticutBackcountry ... thank you brother 🇺🇸
You as well my friend 💯
Wow, what a fantastic trail...and through some beautiful country for sure! Ah yes, breakfast of champions...Otis would be drooling all over me :-) Guess one has to be prepared for every kind of weather. Looks like there was a lot of peace and quiet to be had...and lots of great adventuring. Thanks a million and make sure to take great care...Bruce and Otis
Bruce, I’m Out in the same forest tonight and it is starting again lol! I’m in the hammock and will be making storm flaps I think! The rain held off for the day at least and after 18 miles today it will be nice to sleep to. :) hope all is well. Give that Otis a Pat for me! ATB, Gary.
I really like this blog, great pictures. My gf in California and I are really enjoying the pictures! I’ll see you when I’m back.
Thanks Paul!! I would love to get out that way and hike some honestly. See ya when ya get around for sure!
Gary
Thanks for posting another enjoyable video
There are so many awesome trails to hike and the section markers are cool to be able to select a portion of the trail and visit it myself.
Meets all my criteria; journey, adventure & safe haven !
Biscuits and gravy just might need to be added to the list
May all your journeys be adventures and your havens safe
Oh John, if you don’t have biscuits and gravy on that list I may suggest an amendment! :) this is a really nice trail so far, did another 20ish miles this weekend and will have a vid up shortly. No shortage of parking for shorter sections too with a few restaurant stops!
Hope all is good and you had a good Father’s Day! ATB, Gary.
@@ConnecticutBackcountry Short sections with parking and restaurants is an easy sell.
Fathers day was excellent.
Looking forward to the next post of videos
@@coatpocketsurvivalist I’m working on it now, well when I get home from work lol.
Great video, thanks for sharing
Thank you Larry! Hope you have a great weekend. ATB, Gary.
I hiked this entire trail in ten days. Beautiful trail.
It for sure is a beautiful trail and an impressing hike at over 215 miles in 10 days, way to go!
@@ConnecticutBackcountry The rocks beat the fuck out of my feet, that’s for sure.
@@SophisticatedDogCat for sure it will. That is the worst part about hiking in New England I think, the rocky and craggy stuff but it gets you to great views!
That was a good distance you walked yeah that looked like a good time have a good one Gary.
Thank bro! Still downtown? I haven’t gotten into the city lately.
Awesome 🤩
Thank ya Jesus! :) have a great weekend!
lots of connecticut state flowers out there... no not the mountain laurel, i mean the rocks...certainly no shortage of them...lol
Right!! Lol, I like looking at them but stepping on the loose rocks it tough some times!
Be safe Gary
For sure, with the occasional slip lol.
I’m jealous of your adventures. Makes we wish I was out there. Thanks for posting . Hey where did I get that hat? I want one
Oh bro, I don’t know where the hat is from, the missus got it for me at Christmas. I can ask and see if she remembers.
Thanks bro, I do try to get out, to some nice spots in the summer. Hoping to get some mountains in this summer, will be some great views there! :)
Hope you have a great week TC!
ATB, Gary.
@@ConnecticutBackcountry so far I’ve restored 2 Coleman 425e white gas stoves almost in the same formula as your tutorial video. It was just stuff lying around at work that I used . Didn’t cost a dime. Wire wheel, spray paint , carb.cleaner. Thanks CT back country!
@@tc4421 right on!! I’m glad to hear it helped! Those stoves are so awesome when running right.
That crunchy grinding noise while you're walking, is that gravel under your feet or done on done in your knees
😂
