Connecticut has had tons of water which has made carrying it easier. They also have between 600 million and 800 million mosquitoes per square foot of trail (have heard that a large portion of their bats died off this last winter). Absolutely drives you mad - when you stop to pump water they just swarm on you - and while hiking they attack your elbows, back of your arms, and the tops of your shoulder - they know you can't get to these areas easily while holding trekking poles. These images are of Sages Ravine Brook - absolutely beautiful. pictures don't do the area justice. I would recommend this area for a day hike - easy to get to by car - and right on the border - easy location to climb Bear Mtn, and Race Mtn. (Race was my favorite and will show it next).
