Unfortunately, I just noticed this post today. I live in Southington and would like to possibly join in on some of your meetups.
I haven't been actively following posts in Overland Bound lately but I plan to visit more often.
I was appointed as a Member Rep for Southern New England (CT & RI)...
Unfortunately there is nothing in lower New England for dispersed camping, especially in the areas that you mentioned. There are some primitive camping spots in northwestern mass in the Berkshires but they are in state forests and typically charge approx. $17 per night for camping. Savoy...
I missed this Dan. I would have been there had I known.
I don't always check on OB, especially lately.
There has got to be a better way of getting the word out on something like this.
If you want to try this again, I'll help spread the word.

Lightly used OzTent RV-4 with the following accessories:
Peaked Side Panels
Deluxe Front Panel
Side Awning (can be attached to either side)
Rain Fly
Extra Poles for front awning ridge
all guy wires, stakes and carrying cases
Everything is in excellent condition. The only thing showing any wear...
I use a set of cheap $40 kayak J mounts and strap it on like I would tie down a kayak.
I originally had them on the factory cross bars on the roof of my truck but I transferred them to my trailer for easier access and between trip storage.
It's been working great for the last 3 years.
We actually had a great meetup in June as a result of this thread. There's been a shakeup in the east region and we expect it to be more active in the future. Look for activity to increase in the spring.
Looks like the scattered showers will hold off until later in the afternoon tomorrow.
For communications we will be using Channel 16 on CB and Channel 20 on GMRS.
See everyone at the museum parking lot by 11:00.
Yeah, we are starting out with simple meetups like the one planned for this coming Saturday.
Actually there are quite a few off pavement places to go in CT but they are nothing very technical. They are good for casual rides.
If things go well with some of these casual meetups, we could start...
Hi mOOse,
I'm one of the organizers of the CT meetup set for next weekend.
It's our first try at a meetup and if all goes well, it should be the first of many more.
Just wanted to let you know that we are starting to get more active in CT.
