Next week, I'm planning to take Amtrak to Staunton, and the local bus to Waynesboro. From there I'll hitch to Rockfish Gap where I'm hiking NOBO through SNP. I should be in Waynesboro at 4:30 based on the bus schedule so I won't have much daylight once I get up to the trail. Although I've hiked this section before I cannot recall whether the terrain on the first few miles north is suitable for camping. I know that the trail corridor is pretty narrow and it is dry but I can haul water in to dry camp. If there are no decent sites near the gap I might choose to stay in Waynesboro for the night and start the next morning but I'd prefer to get on the trail right away.
