US321 Hampton to HWY19 East Mileage ??

[Jay B.]

Just hiked US321 in Hampton TN to 19 East this weekend and spent the night at Moreland Gap shelter. Apparently there has been some mileage added recently as my 2004 Data book does not match up. Could anyone give me the correct mileage from US321 to Moreland Gap and then from Moreland to 19 East? Also if you are planning to hike this area I recommend taking water up to Moreland Gap shelter. I had to go about 100 yds past the piped spring and dig a hole in what use to be a stream. After about 10 minutes I was able to get enough water to pump out but it is getting VERY dry at that elevation.

There was a relocation (http://www.tehcc.org/images/ElkRiver-relocation-map-01.jpg). It was completed in 2004, I believe.

See you on the trail,

The TEHCC just opened a few new relocations:

a small relocation on the White Rock Mountain summit.

a huge relocation just after Campbell Hollow Road to the Elk River & the mouth of Sugar Hollow and back up to Walnut Mountain Road.

Then Bear Branch is in process of being relocated.
