<<  To Don Melodia, re. the Trail in Connecticut:
 
 
       I don't know if anyone's got back to you yet, but here's some info 
 that may help.   The place you're loking for doesn't ring a bell with me, 
 especially if it's located on the old A.T., but if memory serves, there is a 
 Dudleytown Hill, about 1500' high, just east of the trail as you approach 
 Cornwall Bridge. It's near the intersection of Rtes 7 and 45; you can 
 probably find it on any road map. >>

I'm sorry for missing the original posting about Dudleytown. However, if i'm 
correct, Dudleytown may be a ghost town within the woods. There is a trail to 
it, though the locals aren't too happy about people tramping up in there. The 
"50 Hikes in CT" book does NOT offer information about it. Any information 
i've seen to find it has been obliquely mentioned in other books. Look more 
into books on northwestern CT history, old "Yankee" magazine issues, etc.
