Re: Advice Needed for AT in CT

Hello:

I've used those parking lots a couple times this year for day hikes 
and there have usually been a couple of out-of-state cars and no 
visible signs of vandalism.  The road is a fairly busy road, but the 
lots are somewhat screened from the road by trees/brush.  

The lot at the AT crossing is a mile or so north of town and is 
pretty small (5-6 cars).  The lot at the Undermountain 
Trail is 4-5 miles (?) further north of town and can hold 12-15 
cars.  I would suggest calling the Salisbury Police Department and 
ask them if there has been vandalism at those spots and if so, do 
they have any suggestions for overnight parking.

The town itself is only a few blocks long and there are some Inns and 
a library which might permit (or unknowingly tolerate) an out of 
state car for a few days.

The Connecticut portion of the AT is pretty and not too tough.  Enjoy 
it and good luck!
