Just curious, I wonder if "Office Automation Assistant" is government-speak for "robot"?
I just drove it last week, the road is in good condition, no problem for low clearance 2 wheel drive car.
Same as Garlic. None for me during my '08 thru hike. I just can't be bothered with the hassle with the easy resupply along the trail. A few times I had crap supply from C stores until I could find...
I hiked from Amicalola, because I wanted to do what I considered a "traditional" thru hike. The night before my start, I stayed at the lodge with my wife, woke up and had a big breakfast, kissed my...
I never make plans to hike over a few days with someone, sometimes it just works out that way. I learned at the tender age of 18 that my plans can't depend on someone else. I had planned a 1200 mile...
Dave, I think 8 days is do-able. I hiked it in 8 on my thru and that was with one zero, so actually 7 hiking days. I don't know what kind of much hiking shape you are in though, it is always good to...
Sure they do, ask Sgt.Rock.
No worries, GeorgiaZen. As 10-K says it's an easy trail to follow, just got to pay attention on some of the short road walks. It's a personal preference which way to go, I don't know that one way or...
Chad, the weather should be nice if it isn't too hot. It can always be cool in the evenings, so you might want to pack a light fleece for sitting around camp at night. I always pack a hat to sleep in...
I love that section, have done it numerous times over the years. It also doesn't hurt that I live here.
Here's a link from my Winding Stairs Gap to Fontana hike blog from last June if you are...
The old Rainbow Springs Campground and store has become NOTHING. A few years ago when every greedy person in the country was trying to become super-rich, super-fast, someone decided that they would...
I was up to Cold Springs last week and they had taken down the tangled mess of bear cables. Moose2001 is right on about nice camping spots up on the ridge just north of the shelter. They offer a...
Must have been many, many moons ago Slo-go. Anyway I live here and hike the trail and have hiked the trail many times over many years. It not only crosses hwy 64 it continues another 16.5 miles and...
To answer your question, the Chunky Gal runs 5.1 miles from The AT to hwy 64 at Glade Gap. It's a nice ridge walk and the trail is in good shape and well blazed.
BoBo, I live in Franklin and would be able to shuttle you. You can send me a PM if you would like more info.
NOC is a good place to start and finish. I like to hike out towards Cheoah Bald (North on AT). Maps are available of both the Bartram and the AT. It is helpful to have the Bartram maps as there are...
Right on, Crumbsnatcher! It was my 1st 20 on my thru.
It's been a while since I've done the Bartram portion from Wayah Bald to Cheoah Bald, but I do the AT from Wayah to Cheoah at least once a year. Is there anything specific that you would like to know...
Can I get my shots at the clinic while I'm there learning to be a thru hiker?
I live in Franklin and hike extensively in Standing Indian.
Long Branch and Kimsey Creek are indeed maintained and well signed.
Both trails are in good shape and are easily hiked and have a...

I've budgeted 5,000 for my thru-hike this year, but I don't really expect to spend that much. I have all my gear, and don't expect to spend many zero days, hanging in town.
We'll see how it...
