Hello everyone,

Just wanted to say hi and thank you folks for all the great info here. After a very long absence from the woods, I have been doing some day hiking and really enjoying it. I spent much of my youth camping and hiking (I am an Eagle Scout) and am also ex- US Army Infantry Sargeant (85'-89'). These days, my pursuits are a bit more peaceful. I tend to eat mostly vegetarian and practice Zen Buddhism, and now, hiking through the trails here in CT.

Here is a little shorty I did after work the other day, with a few pics: http://www.trimbleoutdoors.com/ViewTrip/1466798

Anyway, thanks again!

Keith
