Hi,

Iam planning a 4-5 week hike starting on Springer Mountain. My plan was to go to Hot Springs and try and get a lift to Asheville (looks like 90 bucks is going rate). I notice the Mountains to Sea Trail diverts at Clingman's Dome and appears to go right to Asheville. Anyone familiar with this trail? Any advice would be vry helpful. I have been toying where best place to get off AT would be, thought about pushing ahead to Erwin. This looks like a different thing to do, so might be pretty cool.

Thanks.
