We settled on a route for our overnight trip this holiday weekend...the weather looks great and we are ready to test our new packs...check out our route below...we grabbed the route from a great resource: AMC's Best Backpacking in New England book.  This is our first try at one of their suggested trips so we are excited to provide some feedback on it next week...hopefully all their advice proves helpful!
