Wildfang, there are some maps with waypoints. Go to http://www.pinhotitrailalliance.org/trail-maps..html
I actually printed and laminated Mr.Parkay's about 4 yrs ago. There is also a new (2014) US...
Since you've done the AT through the Smokey Mts, the Pinhoti (AL Section) will make you think of the AT. Granted the Pinhoti doesn't have the elevation of the Smokey Mts, however, the feel of the...
Suprisingly no snakes were seen other than a Timber Rattler that had been ran over on FS532.
I'm thinking we all were making a lot of vibrations and noise (stomping through ,tossing off branches,...

First of all, I want to applaud you for the desire to start where the Appalchain mountain chain starts/ends. The Alabama Pinhoti is a jewel that could easily be a part of the famed AT. You will...

Dhagan, I will most definitely do a trip report. I continue to look at the future dates w/excitement, thinking it's a considerable time away. However, I know it will be here quickly. This time...
It is indeed a steady pace. I going solo, so I can hum along @ my average cruising pace of 3-3.5mph. I'm not rushing thru..., just going my speed.

Gubbool,

Now that Christmas obligations are almost in the book and I've gorged myself with some fine Christmas junkfood...I need to get the ultimate exercise. HIKING in the woods!!!
The weekend finally...

However, it is popular and you will...

Beautiful McDill point in early October.
To Verify w/the new woods trail blazed:
The single track trail from Bull Gap TH to Trammel Motor SW TH is "How long?"
What is the official TH name for the Trammel Motor SW TH? Is it the same?
Greeting to all of the previous AlaTrails members... Glad to find a few of you again!
What is the mileage from Bull Gap TH to the end @ Wegufka ?
Is it all woods walk?
What is the H2O...
