New Hartford and Windsor Locks, CT
Originally, we had planned a backpacking trip in the Pachaug State Forest. A blizzard forecast a few days before the trip makes backpacking a less practical idea. Instead, we will travel to Windsor Locks, CT to visit the New England Air Museum. We will camp at Camp Sequassen in New Hartford, CT, in tents.
Use our Backwoods Camping List to make sure you don't forget anything. Be sure to include plenty of water. See other camping information on our Camping page. A few specifics:
- The camp site will likely have several inches of snow, so bring winter gear.
- Bring a lunch to eat at the museum. They have a break area but limited vending machine food.
