Camping pas Hogback Ridge shelter

[Stir Fry]

I'm hiking from Sams Gap to Hot Springs starting on the 8th November. Are there any good camping spots 3-4 miles past Hogback Ridge Shelter. Just seems that it to short a day to hike from Sams Gap to Hodgback Ridge Shelter. I see a capsite at Big flats but not much more for some distance. Is there anything not in the guid book. I wont be dropped of untill about noon the 8th.

There are some nice spots around Frozen Knob with a view of Big Bald and then at Sugarloaf Gap. You can also figure out where some old roads run. There is a large flat spot at the bottom but its too close to houses and the roads.

I'm using the AT guide and it does not have Frozen Knob or does it also go by Big Flat?

Big Flat is still there it will be on your left down off the trail a few feet.Saw 4 wheelers coming up through the area when I was there a few years ago.There is also water there but it may not be marked...

So any directions to Frozen Knob. Looks like it will be a nice place to camp.

Hiking south I think you go just below the actual summit of Frozen Knob off to your left.Anyway it will be windy&no water there.Just a little farther as you go down towards Sugarloaf Gap there is a spring on the left of the trail.Good (and last) campsite at Sugarloaf gap just before the descent starts to Boone Cove Rd.....I think Frozen Knob is the highest point between Rice Gap and Sugarloaf Gap.....
