Appalachian Trail-Ten Mile River to Bull's Bridge
Finally Finally Finally got in the woods this weekend. Weather was beautiful for the first hike of the season. Brought my sister, daughter, and her friend along for a nice 4 mile hike on the AT.
We started off on the NY/CT border and made it up to Kent, CT right by the historic Bull's Bridge. Bet ya didn't know but George Washington walked across that bridge a few times during the Revolutionary War. As usual I have a photo and video diary of the excursion.
We had a few issues with the 'yutes on the way up the hill (and one wipe out on the way down), but overall it was a success.
This is great day hike that takes about two hours. The town center of Kent is right up the road from Bull's Bridge where you can grab a late lunch before your drive home. Although the views at the top of Ten Mile Hill were not the greatest, the walk next to Ten Mile River makes up for it. OK so 3.9 miles down and 49.8 left until I finish my goal of hiking the entire Connecticut portion of the AT. Click HERE to see photo slideshow and HERE for the Video Diary.
Oh and we also made up Trail Names for everyone. Danger, Wind Runner, Trip, and Peace Jester, I will let you try to figure out who is who!
One last note. I would like to welcome the newest site sponsor, Jerky.com. Stock up on beef jerky before your hikes at Jerky.com!

Very Cool New Feature!
I discovered a very cool new application for blogging today so I am going to give it a shot. It's from a company called Apture and it lets you easily add all kinds of multimedia to your blog. So here we go, tell me what you think! Want to learn more about the Appalachian Trail? Then click it!!!
Also first hike planned for this weekend. 10 Mile River on CT/NY Border to Bull's Bridge. This is a short one, only 4 miles, but who cares, I just want to get in the damn woods! I am setting up mobile blogging too so if I see any creatures in the woods you will know as soon as I do!!

New name for the Blog!
Thought I would let everyone know that I have decided to change the name of the blog to TalesFromTheTrails. So going forward bookmark www.talesfromthetrails.com. The new name better simplifies what the blog is all about. www.onerambleatatime.com will still get you to the blog for the next few months. If you subscribe via a feed, that will still show up as one ramble at a time. It was too difficult to change that over at this time. If this site every really takes off I will fix it. You may have noticed the blog was down for the past few days, that's because I had to transfer the domain over to go daddy because it was not working with my other service which shall remain nameless for now. Hopefully my next post is going to be about my first hike of 2009. The quest to hike the entire AT in Connecticut is just about to begin!!!
