To any Sobos and sectioners, I am planning a small overnight section hike from Bitter End, above the town of Roan Mtn, to 19E. I am heading in Saturday morning and should be out Sunday afternoon. If anyone needs a shuttle or supply run from Mtn Harbour/Apple House, just leave a message.

Bitter End 19E Hike recap:

Waters at Laurel Fork crossings are good.

Mountaineer Falls: The top is just puddles. The fall are about the only good water gathering spot.

Jones Falls: Still flowing but only small pools next to the blue blaze to gather from. Most good gather spots were up the wet wall or on the other side.

Lots of branch debris. A number of body/head high blowdowns from Mountaineer Shelter to Sugar Hollow camp.
