Shelb, we look forward to seeing y’all!
Hi, Sparrows, section hiker 2007-2017 GA-NH, GA-MA 2018. I’m currently working for stay at Standing Bear. I can’t say much about the phone situation because I just do the cleaning, cooking, PR,...

President Trump thinks we hike on the “Tallahassee” Trail.
Thank you! That is amazing! My trail name is Sparrows :)
I am currently thru-hiking sober and I was wondering if there is currently a twelve-step meeting for hikers at Trail Days, and, if not, if anyone who is going this year would be interested in having...
Thanks for all the amazing replies, folks! I really appreciate hearing about Mr. Peoples, who is obviously a great man. I definitely know where to go from here as my fictional hikers meet the man!
Good point! Thanks!
Hi,
I've section-hiked all the trail but NH and ME, but I stayed at the Black Bear Resort (?) while in Hampton, TN. Sadly, that means I missed meeting the man, the legend, Bob Peeples. But now I...
Google Woods Hole Hostel near Pearisburg VA. Little bit of heaven with reasonable shuttles.
I am vegetarian but have been vegan on the trail in the past. Lots of hiker food like pop tarts is vegan anyway, but check out Harmony House if you don't want to have to dehydrate your own stuff. ...
I have gone out for a month or more each summer for the past six years and have worn the Mountain Hardwear better butter skirt with a short sleeve quick dry tee of some sort while hiking. Long bike...
The Barefoot sisters were vegetarian, which means they didn't eat meat, but still ate other animal products such as cheese. Vegans avoid eating/purchasing all animal products, including milk, eggs,...
I'm vegan and I am switching over to using mail drops from buying in towns in order to get enough whole grains, fruits, and vegetables. Pop-tarts and ramen (with no seasoning packet) are vegan,...
Wow, you are going to have a great time! I hiked Springer to Hot Springs solo last summer, and I had to deal with some fear as well. In the end, I had an amazing hike, and I felt stronger because I...
I stayed at Springbrook Cottages for a couple days after my section hike last summer, and was amazed at the quality I got for such a low price. It's almost to the end of town, around the corner past...
Here's how I would do it: get a bottle of water, a bandanna, and your camp soap (Dr. Bronners is what I use... they have the original as well as lavender and almond scent...). Go away from the...
I took my lightheart solo on a 250-mile section hike this summer, and I loved it! It is very lightweight and compact, but once you set it up, there is plenty of space inside, and enough headroom to...
Most of the shelters in the Smokies have a bench and a high "table" running across the front of the shelter, which is what I used to cook on. I would say, out of courtesy, don't bring any food or...
For a section hike this summer I used a kid's water wing from walmart cut down one seam so it laid out. It weighs very little and takes up little space in the pack. I just inflated it, wrapped it...
I downloaded several books via Audible onto my iPod before my 250-mile section hike this summer. I kept all my electronics/chargers in a screw-top disposable tupperware container, and during the day...
I'm currently reading Nightwoods, which was written by Charles Frazier (who wrote Cold Mountain). Is anyone else reading this? The novel seems to be set near the AT in North Carolina... it talks...
I can relate to getting nothing but negativity from people about being a female out there hiking solo-- and I really respect that you aren't letting the fear hold you back from getting out there.
...
Hey, Skooch, it's "Helpful!" I'm sorry to hear that you were off at Neels Gap, but so glad you are back out there for two more months! I made it to Hot Springs, and decided that I'm happy with 250...
I hope you have a great time; it's really awesome to realize what you're capable of alone!
I did the Fontana-Davenport section last July, and just carried all of my food for the 7 days. Make sure that you book your shelters far in advance. Standing Bear, about 2 miles from Davenport, is a...
