Thanks to all. Nice to know about all the available options. I think I like the idea of flying into/ out from White Plains. That saves me a trip into NYC.
BTW, nice pic, CM!

I'm planning a section from Greenwood Lake NY to the CT line. Where should I fly in & out?
Also, what water conditions should I expect?
Is camping allowed other thann at the shelters in NY?
I stayed tat the Independence Courthouse Inn, don't know if thats the same place. Only a half block from the Post office & the road to Onion Valley.
I liked the place, it was adequate, clean. But I...
Just got off the phone with Inyo permit office. According to the ranger I spoke to, only permits to May 31 have been cancelled. She was able to confirm that my reservation was still valid. I guess...
I had my JMT permit cancelled! It was for 9/9 from Bishop/ Southlake. Has anyone else had this happen? Apparently it was due to CV
Back after a long hiatus.
I'm planning a NJ section from DWG NOBO to the NY line in early September. Is Newark the best place to fly into/ out of?
If so, what are the shuttle prospects from...
I'm planning a section from Ironmasters to DWG PA in June. I've got just about everything ironed out, except lodging around Wind Gap. There are only 3 motels, none of them get particularly good...
Any problems with water in this section? Planning a short section in early October. Thanks in advance. Hope to stay at Teahorse Hostel in HF, & Ironmasters in Pine Grove.
Great info!! Thanks to all who responded. This takes the "sweat" out of the aplication process!
I want to do a section of JMT, but with the current quota system SOBO, I don't count my chances as very good to get a permit from Happy Isles toward Whitney. Is it possible to start at Reds Meadow...
I have an older guidebook, & it lists a shuttle service near Waynesboro VA called Mountain and Valley Shuttle Service. It gives names, phone numbers and a website. Does anyone know if this service...
I'm planning a section from Waynesboro VA to Harper's Ferry in May, & I'm wondering about the lodging situation in Luray. There are several motels listed in the guidebooks. Does anyone have a...
Thanks to all! OddManOut, We'll be takin' it easy -- the 90 miles in 10 days. No sense in running past "the most photographed spot of the AT"!!
We're planning a section from Pearisburg to Troutville this October. I am really looking forward to McAfee & the Tooth! Are there any words of wisdom, tips, or suggestions anyone has , other than...
We stayed there in 2008. It was a really wet day with torrential rain, & we were happy to find it. Hattie & her husband were very accomodating, & we had a great stay.
I'm planning an October section from Kincora to Troutdale, VA, or maybe a bit further to Marion or Sugar Grove. I've made several phone calls, but I haven't found a shuttle from the Marion area to...
I guess I was pretty fortunate-- my 1st bear was in my second section, at Mollies Ridge shelter in the Smokies. I got there at dusk, & I went down to the spring. When I got there the bear was about...
In 2006, I was late in getting to Mollies Ridge Shelter in the Smokies. I ditched my pack at the shelter & went down to the stream for water. Yogi was making his way down to the opposite bank of the...
Thanks, folks...And thanks for the bear warning. I'll be sure to hang my food high.
Planning to be in the vicinity of Max Patch this July, and I'm seeing discrepancies in the location of Roaring Fork Shelter in the ATC Guidebook vs. the ATC map. Has this shelter been moved? Where...
Miss Janet, tho I've never met you, I feel like I know you. Best of luck! Don't give up!! This is just a bump in the trail. And I hope I'm there on opening day of the Erwin Hiking Center!

Thanks to everyone for the info. I'll get back to you w/ feedback.

I am planning a section from Clingmans to Erwin in mid July of this year. It'll be my 3rd section, so I'm not a complete novice, but I was wondering what kind of terrain it is (compared to say...
Absolutely none! Not many people in the New Orleans area do much hiking, other than boy scouts. In fact, if any knows of someone else around N'Awlins who hikes, let me know. I'd like to get in touch....
Wow! Great news! This has jolted me out of my former long-standing status as spectator, and into a real participant in this website. I never met Wildcat, but thank God for his safety. I pray for...
