First World Problems...

[freeholden]

So we've bribed our college daughter to come home & watch the dog & house,( big kids play-time), booked our room & shuttle at the Hiker
Hostel, & escape to springer for a four day pilgrimage to Neel Gap over labor day weekend. Problems you ask? Man, figuring all the sweet spots to visit & camp! Example: Short first day of terminus, long creek falls then tent at Hickory Flatt cemetary for the creepy/ cool factor! Or maybe camel up and go to sassafras. But what about Ramrock mountain, or Big Cedar with their views? I've came up with four different itineraries to try & satisfy my planning OCD to no avail! *sigh* poor me! But seriously, who else out there in Whiteblaze land is gonna be out on this section gooofing off for the long labor day weekend?

You made me laugh, freeholden! We too have a college daughter that we'll be leaning on from time to time to babysit our stuff. I smiled at your itinerary/planning description - the trail is a lot of fun in anticipation, isn't it?

We won't be out there with you, but I wanted to wish you well on your trip. It's a good section, and a good time of year to do it. Happy trails!

Glad to hear someone else has survived teenage girl(s) years & can't wait to FINALY get some "just us" time!! The girl says she's withdrawing my nomination for father-of-the-year for black mailing her...LoL. We'll probably end up winging it and have some fun on our mini adventure...
