  1. Great website and resource. Can you tell me if your other blog (Farmington Valley HS Hikers) still meets? It looks like the last post was in 2013. Thanks.

  2. Hi Lynn,
    Thanks for your nice comment.
    As for the other blog, the FV homeschool hikers no longer meet. Our kids are either in their final years of high school or in college now. I do know that there was another group that would get together every other week or so. I don't know if they are still active, but I used to see their postings on the NCCHRA Yahoo Group (can't remember exactly what it stands for, but something like northwest CT Homeschool something) I'm having a problem getting into the Yahoo page right now, so I cant tell you if they are still active. I can try and track some info down if you are interested.

    I started work on a page that list hiking areas in each town in CT (see tabs at top), but I haven't worked on it in awhile. Seems like a rainy day project!

    Happy Hiking!
    Sarah
