    Cohutta Wilderness Question....

    We just bought a place very near the CW and I am more than looking forward to exploring it and other North Georgia trails in the coming months and years.

    I am looking for some advice on a couple...

    Thanks, all. Got lucky and got a site at Cataloochee Oct 23/24. We will day hike out from there. Looking forward to it.
  3. Backcountry is preferable

    but would settle for frontcountry. We are likely to be four adult males and two kids.
  4. Looking for three nights - hike/camp. Water's edge would be nice.

    Am I naive to think we can reserve something in the park for late Sept-Oct timeframe? We'd like to camp next to running water or a lake and do day hikes from there. Would be fine inside the park or...
  5. Trail Angels - documentary on DirectTv now. Channel 267.

    About an hour left. Pretty good.
  6. How far from SR 60 to Blood Mtn? From SR 60 (by road or trail) to Dockery Lake?

    We are planning to car camp at Dockery but also want to hike up to Blood Mtn shelter and we are not up for 8.5 miles uphill in one trek - which is the distance from Dockery. We might get up after...

    We are in Bham and somehow dodged them. But 25 miles on either side of us is utter devastation. I feel a little guilty leaving tomorrow to hike. I've never seen anything like this in my life.

    Thanks for all the well wishes. To top it off, we have a cabin waiting in HS for two nights. The day after we get into town, we'll get into a little white water. Followed by a little brown water....

    I LIKE this feeling.

    Sunday I am leaving for Cosby Campground and we'll be climbing Low Gap Trail by about 6:30 Monday morning, Lord willing. Due to my daughter's volleyball tournament in Atlanta this weekend, I am...

    I did have the thought that it is probably the timing that has me sensitive about it. I've run 11 marathons and am the king of phantom pain during every taper. Although I actually injured this calf...
  13. Hippie or Jarhead? Ponytail, dreds or high and tight?

    My way of thinking is less hair is easier to deal with out in the woods. As such, I'll be requesting the #3 blade a day before I hit the trail. My girls at home won't be happy but, hey, it grows out....

    It's just a little cramp. I hope.

    Leaving in six days for our little week on the trail and pulled up lame in a run tonight. Nothing popped but it seems a little more severe than your average cramp. Not that it matters at this...

  17. Gonna do my first trail run - Mountain Mist.

    It's a 50k in Huntsville, Al in Jan. I've done a bunch of marathons but virtually no trail running. I'm looking forward to it. Because of the date, the weather is usually pretty challenging. ...
