Welcome! Any trips planned for the rest of the year?

Just got back from 3 weeks in Utah, Nevada and Colorado. Went to the Uitnas > House Range > Grand Basin > Ruby Mountains > San Juans. Chasing good weather in a super el nino monsoon season.

Welcome fellow Nutmegger! Greetings from Old Lyme.
I'm just back from a week in the Trinity Alps, NoCal. Put that on your list! I'll be writing up a trip report soon.

Hey you're not too far away from me I'm over in Branford. Do you mostly get up to camping and backpacking trips or any peak bagging as well?

Super close! What are your favorite hikes in CT??
I've been doing at least one week-long backpacking trip a year since 1998. We generally choose a different Wilderness Area each year, with Wind River and the Pemi - 3 times each - being the exceptions. I'm happy to bag peaks as long as I don't have to carry extra gear (non-technical). I like to travel pretty light because I'm also toting camera gear... Here are the last 13 or so years: https://randakag.smugmug.com/Wilderness. I hope to clean up and add earlier trips over the winter.
Do you subscribe to Appalachia, the AMC's journal? Lots of climbing/ers in the current issue. And great writing, of course.
