Thanks for all the advice on my dumb questions. Last week I did it!
Started at the approach and ended at Neels.
What an amazing time, I spent alot of time thinking how the hell am I going to explain this to my friends and family,, no words can describe the experience.
I am from Florida and I have NEVER set foot on a mountain, and yes the approach kicked my butt. but I took it slow and recovered well and had a great time.
My pack is resupplied and I am thinking about my next section. Can't wait, Unicoi gap looks like a challange on the map, at least now when I look at the map I know what I am looking at.
Question When in the fall would the weather be equal to what I just had?
