### Absolutely. Hudson Nobo. More specifically,
Choo-choo, nobo. Take the train out of ATL to NYC
(Port Authority), Subway from Port Authority to Grand
Central, hence Metro North to AT. Hike (basically) up
US7 (CT/MA AT), and get back on the choo-choo
(anywhere from Albany {eastern NY} to Bennington
{eastern VT}) and head (who said "head"?) back south.
Easy rolling terrain still bouncy enough to be a
challenge to the uninitiated, spendy sorts of touristy
options though, but the bugs should be tolerable once
you hit CT. And the throughhikers you run into should
be a good sort.
