Thanks, good info. We're going to hike out of Salisbury.

Time wise it's looks like the drive to Salisbury and the drive to Dalton/Chesire are comparable. Both look like good/doable section hikes. I like Slo-go'en's suggestion about taking Route 2 and the...

Have to be on the lookout for Pukwudgie's

Thanks for the suggestions - all well-taken especially the weather and foliage tips. Looks like our best bet is to head to western Mass. around Mt. Greylock. Any specific tips on the section from...

Will be in Boston mid-October. Plan to rent car and chase leaves. Hubby will shuttle to/from AT, basically have half/full/half days to hike with 2 nights on trail. 8-10 miles is full day, so looking...

BonBon, loved following your journal while you hiked and thoroughly enjoyed this article. You convey so well the mystical parts of the trail that are hard to describe, while never leaving out the...

The locals might be incensed

Car pool sounds good Scooterdogma. Maybe we can catch up for a Gorge hike before then.

Pm sent MamaSmurf (maybe twice). Thanks for organizing us! For any one else thinking about transportation, I plan to get to Harpers early afternoon on the 30th and would be happy to pick up/give...

I know it's 3+ months away, but I just made a reservation for the 30th at the HI Harpers Ferry Hostel. If anybody else is looking for a hiker friendly spot - there are still beds available. Looks...

July 30 works for me. MamaSmurf you are right - hiking just begats more hiking!

I'm interested in a late July/Aug hike from Harpers. I'm planning to hike Hot Springs to Erwin in June - trying to make or break these 2017 thru hike thoughts that won't go away! Usually head out...

Hey Nogray! Go downtown to John's Run/Walk shop and talk to them about your foot issues. Even though they don't specialize in backpacking, I have found them to be a good local resource (esp. since...

I can't get away that early in May. I don't think I'll be near Damascus in June this year, but I have done that section in June and it is wonderful. Have a great hike!

Hi Amy! Do you have a start date in mind? I've been loosely planning to leave from Springer June 1 and hike for about a week - but I could leave a little earlier. Like you I'm not a novice but not...

Julie, did you make it to GA? I'm planning to start at Springer around the 1st of May 2015 and hike for 7-10 days if you are still interested. Like you, I am married with hub not into backpacking....

Welcome to Kentucky!

The Big South Fork National Park on KY/TN border has some great multi-day hiking and camping trails.

A River Runs Through It is also a movie - with a young Brad Pitt. Beautiful scenery.

Whoaa - it's a little bit scary in here. But nothing ventured...

So ...there's a path that leads to the start of the path, and, you don't have to, but if you don't hike that you haven't really...

In a WB thread about books, someone suggested "why you really hurt: it all starts in the foot" by Dr. Burton Schuler. It is about a common condition called "Morton's Toe", which is basically where...

Plan to be in Daleville around the 17th, looking for a place to leave car and shuttle - jimmy jam does your friend do this for others as well? Any other suggestions? Thanks for the responses - hope...

Dr. Gadget, still planning an October hike? I'm female, early 50's, good for about 12 miles a day give or take, would love to hike for 4-5 days in central VA but uneasy about solo. And like big dogs....

I did my first section hike in June out of Damascus and can't get another 5-6 day hike out of my mind. Planning to go southbound from Daleville to Newport in early October, little over 50 miles. I...
