Due to time constraints, I "need" to finish a hike I started in May in Central Virginia. The plan is to slackpack over 3 days, the following sections:
- Wind Rock VA 613 to VA 621 Craig Creek Valley - 24.6 miles
- VA 621 to VA 311 Catawba - 21.4 miles
- VA 311 to US 220 Daleville - 19.8 miles
I'm planning to hike the second weekend in July. I'm in good shape and have hiked 16-18 mile days in this area with a full backpack.
I'm curious to get the feedback of those who know this section on:
1) am I crazy to think I can slack this over 3 consecutive days?
2) water situation in mid-July?
3) random thoughts or suggestions?
