Sorry if this isn't the right location for this. :o
Last year a group of us hiked from Jenkins Shelter south to the pavalion past Knot Maul Branch. The mileage was broken down as follows: Day one: 2 miles to chesnut knob (this was the day we drove from northern MD so this was done in the dark., Day two: 9 miles to Knot Maul Branch, Day three: 4ish miles to the pavalion (this was the day we drove home).
At the time most of the group was new to backpacking so we didn't want to attempt too many miles.
This year we want to either start where we started last year and hike north, or start where we stopped and hike south. We will have more time this hike since we are driving down on a Thursday night and hiking all day Fri, Sat and Sun then driving back on Monday.
Does anyone have any suggestions for a good starting point and stopping point?
Sorry for the vaugue question.
