Ok have a preliminary itinerary put together. Mind you I only did this with the aid of Rohland's site, Google Earth, and the PDF version of the park map. Still need to get the map set and/or guide.
October 17th to Oct 20th
NOBO Skyland --> US 522
Day#1
Skyland to Pass Mountain Hut (About 10.2 Miles)
Definite place to legally tent and a Hut to stay in if weather is inclement. Plus a water source.
Day#2
Pass Mountain Hut to either before Piney River Area or after Hog Back Overlook (About 9 to 11 miles). Not sure where the springs are to re-water. Will have to revise after getting maps.
Day#3
From wherever camp is the night before to Just past Jenkins Gap but before Compton Gap (about 10miles)
Day #4
From the night before to US 522 (About 7 miles)
So again this is very preliminary. Basically looking for some feedback. I chose my camp areas by just just seeing where the trail was about quarter mile from Skyline Drive. Any good sites to camp that anyone knows of would be nice or any thing that I am overlooking. PM's would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
