I looked up Mountain Harbour and checked out their website. I’m catching a ride with them and leaving my truck there. I feel a little safer with it left somewhere. Thanks for the replies everyone!...

I looked up Mountain Harbour and checked out their website. I’m catching a ride with them and leaving my truck there. I feel a little safer with it left somewhere. Thanks for the replies everyone!...
Thanks for the info. Will give them a shout. My last 4 hiking trips, and 3 scuba trips have been cancelled by Mother Nature. It’s time to get out and enjoy the outdoors.
The AT guide mentions frequent vandalism at the 19E road crossing in Tenn north of Roan Mtn. Is there somewhere close that would be safer to park. Could also use shuttle recommendations for the...
The night time views from Grassy Ridge are spectacular. Camp near there and do an early evening walk up on top of the ridge and enjoy the scenery.
Dicks Creek is a pretty convenient place to stop. Nice little parking area, plus a little town is near by, which means a good hot meal.
Did a couple sections south of Damascus last week. Since I was sobo, I was passing a good many nobos during the day. Since I’m a little older, I don’t mind stepping aside to let people by. Gives me a...
Hello, I need a shuttle on Monday morning Apr 1. Pick up at Wilber Lake Rd, beside Watauga Dam, and drop me off at Low Gap on 421. I know this is a little short notice, but they have been calling for...
The Smokies are a beautiful place. Pretty remote, and during the week there isn’t as much traffic, but on weekends there are a lot of more tourists. As others have said, you need to go on the website...
Thanks Lone Wolf. Will be in touch.
Anyone know of a reliable shuttle service in the southern Damascus area. Need to get picked up at Wilber Lake, and dropped off at Low Gap. Thanks for any help that I can get.
I know it’s been a couple weeks, but head over to the Warbonnet web page and check out some of their tarps. First class.
The two shoes of choice were listed, along with the pros and cons of each. The OP already has the info. Pick which one works for you. It's not rocket science. I swear I'm not trying to be rude, but...
Wanna race?!
I swear I'm not trying to be rude, but why don't you just take the shoes that you want to take for petes sake. My gosh, it seems people can't even go poop without asking someone's opinion about it.
I've had mice in my pack in shelters, and I've had mice eat through my food bags that were properly hung in a tree. The critters are pretty resourceful when it comes to getting food. It's all just...
Went down it in a February ice storm. Not sure how I didn't end up on my butt, maybe just luck, but I'll take it!
Thanks for the help everyone. I ended up going with Greasy Creek Hostel for the shuttle. Their rates were a little better than most, as they live right there.
Anyone have a good shuttle driver in and just south of Roan Mtn Tn? Thanks for any advice I can get.
That is a beautiful place, especially the view from the top of grassy ridge. Do the trip and you won't be sorry. There is some fairly stout uphill, but where is there not any on the trail? Worse...
King suites at the holiday inn in hiawassie have a Jacuzzi. Pure heaven.
Do yourself a favor, buy a the best Western Mountaineering bag that you can afford. One that specifically fits your needs. Many of them come in four different lengths, some models are "bigger" for us...
Atlas Shrugged is a great book. Start it Springer and it will last you a while. Should be required reading for all college freshmen.
Lone Wolf, I need to get a little bit of an earlier start, so I may have to go with Larry on this trip. I'm old and slow, so I don't want to be too late going into the woods. I hope your Dr. appt...
Lone Wolf, I'm looking at Fri May 5 around 1030 am. How is your schedule?
I will be needing a shuttle from Damascus south to 421 in a couple weeks. I know LW used to shuttle near there. Is he still doing this, or does anyone have a reliable shuttle service that they can...
