Last August (7th, I think) at the Rt-94 trailhead near Vernon NJ, I met "The Brits" later called "Tea" and "Crumpets" a British couple from Oxford, England, who both (male and female) had recently shaved heads. I would not recommend a shaved head in New England in June (black fly season). Bob Brooks
