They definitely do exist in the Appalachians. I live in NW corner of NC and I've personally seen mountain lines at least a half dozen times. Including a mother with a baby, clearly from about 150...
I have a place 500 yards off of the trail between highway 16 and highway 18 up in Laurel Springs. (Section 16) I'll let people camp out for free. I have a barn or my porch people can sleep in / on...
Yall have probably already passed us by, but if yall need a place to stay off of the parkway, let me know.
Just as an update, not forgetting all of this. Been cash strapped, a little behind on the hostel build-out. Definitely going to let everyone camp out if they need to. Anyone needing directions...
Yea, I've done alot of research on the trail already. I'm personally into backcountry backpacking mostly, but I see the draw of the other aspects. My cousin (and roommate) is thinking about hiking...
Couldn't edit the last post. The church I'm talking about is 4 miles north of my friends house off of the Parkway and Blackberry Road
Ok, so I've been thinking about how else I can help out the trail. I have a friend who owns land right on the parkway down just south of Bamboo Gap - look on the map where Blackberry road crosses...
I dunno actually, I didn't even know the trail existed till a few weeks ago. Got out and actually hiked on it the first time 2 weeks ago. I just moved into the house back in June, was planning on...
Hey, if anyone needs a place to stay now while hiking the trail, I'll let them camp in the backyard for free and if you want to sleep on the floor in one of the extra bedrooms, I'll let them for...
And yea, I don't want to stock a bunch of stuff - just the little things that usually need to be replaced - fuel, a couple pair of socks, half dozen tent stakes, then maps, a small selection of food....
Ya, I'm going to offer washer and dryer use. And slackpacking is a good idea. I can probably pick them up down the trail, near hwy. 421 or whatever if they want too.
Yea, I'm not putting much into gear. Figured socks might be helpful, and I use them enough personally, lol. Yea, I'm going to get a freezer w/ misc. food for sale and microwave for sure - I can...
Ok, got a question. I'm putting together a list of stuff I need to get done / get / etc. for the hostel. Since I've only stayed at a hostel once and only done a couple long backpacking trips, what...
Yea, I talked to him via email last night. Supposed to call him today.
Yup, as soon as I get it set up a little more and know more details, I'll get yall some more details. I'm going to clean out the barn behind the house - it's a really sturdy, dry, 2 story barn I'm...
If anyone wants to camp in the yard this summer, I don't mind letting them. Email me at: mark @ ronininvestments.com won't have much set up, might have a dry barn for you to sleep in. If...
BTW, I'm going to post more information as I get it all set up....
Hello! I live 500 yards off the MST trail about 11 miles north of the HWY 16 and Blue Ridge Parkway intersection. I'm opening up a backpackers hostel next summer. Can also give shuttle runs into...
