Hello there,
I posted a thread a while ago about a photo story I'm attempting about the Appalachian Trail, asking for thru hikers who would be interested in participating (which I'm still looking for btw.) But I'd like to know what things other than hikers you guys think I should document. I'm looking for any suggestions to what you think is important to the trail or just something interesting that's related, possibly some of the best views or shelters along the trail, most accommodating hiker friendly hostels, an interesting intersection of the trail like crossing a highway or interstate, etc. Is there anyone along the trail who sets up their homes for hikers to stay in? I've heard of a man somewhere in Virginia that lets hikers pitch their tents in his yard, does anyone know who that might be? I'm heading down to Tennessee in three weeks to get started and I'm going to try to see as much as I can. I'll be in Damascus for Trail Days if any of y'all will be there, too.
I'l give you a list of some of the things I already have in mind to see.
