    Hi. I'm interested in hiking this season in the South. Anyone partaking in this anytime soon I love the Damascus area and wouldn't also mind filling in at the Nc/Ga border.

    Hot Springs? Very close to the Trail? The trail runs THROUGH the town. From one end to the other. You must not have a decent map.

    stayed there last weekend! had a blast! we tented it for 2 nights in 15 and 7 degree weather, respectively, and then spent the last night at the lodge. it was a much needed respite of warmth!
