Anyone out there have any interest in hiking some or all of this trail? It's 150+ miles and some beautiful scenery. Also goes past a couple of wineries!
Anybody out there going to start at Unicoi in the next couple of days? I got off the trail March 20 and want to get back on and continue my thru hike. Looking for folks to hike with.

I'm getting dropped off at FS road 42. Not hiking the approach trail.
I'm looking at doing Springer Mountain to Neels Gap in March. How does this sound for an itinerary - 4 days, three nights:
Springer Mountain to Hawk Mountain Shelter

Pocket rocket uses canisters that can't be refilled, right? So, when you spend the fuel, you have to chuck the canister. But, as I understand it, you can't landfill them because they are...
there are two different books: "AWOL on the Appalachian Trail" - a novel about his trip, and "The AT Guide" - a guidebook on hiking the AT
I'm looking at doing a section hike around March 10. Your mileage sounds good to me. I do a lot of short hikes through the Shawnee National Forest - up and down hills for about 5 miles or so, but...
I'm looking at doing a shakedown hike through Georgia in March before thru hiking the AT in 2013. March 10 or so would be my start date. I'd like to do all of Georgia. I'm planning on going alone,...
