Hiking the Appalachian Trail in New England:
A podcast from WNPR

WNPR - Connecticut Pubic Radio has a great podcast posted on their site about backpacking the Appalachian Trail along the Connecticut/Massachusetts border. NPR correspondent Nancy Cohen digs out an old frame pack and heads out for an overnight on the trail. It's definitely worth a listen.

After listening, maybe you'd like to do what Nancy did and dust off your old pack or rent, borrow, or purchase one if you don't already own one. The many joys and benefits of hiking and backpacking are simply too numerous to list here.

In the meantime, please consider joining American Hiking Society. That first step will help you on your way to reconnecting with nature out on the trail.

Happy Trails!
