Not having success with the BRP website. Can anyone confirm that the Parkway is open in the Peaks of Otter/Apple Orchard Mt./Petites Gap area? Thanks.

I think SJ should leave his GPS on for an extra day. We could watch him sit for a couple hours at a vegan buffet and then sleep for a day.
Updating my own thread: when I asked about Clendennin Road, I didn't know the trail had been rerouted in that area in the last couple years. The nearby wellness center is glad to offer free parking,...
I've parked there, but not overnight. How's the safety there for two nights? Would it be safer to park at the nearby wellness center?
Just became a smart phone owner. Got an LG for the big screen. I've been with hikers whose iPhones track their route as they walk. Then at the end you know your mileage and have a record of your...
Near Catawba, a logging road runs parallel to the AT as the two head northeast from hwy 311. Is this road gated in the summer? Thanks.
I'll soon be dayhiking between Yellow Mountain Gap and Hump Mountain. I want to extend my hike by taking the side trail to Yellow Mountain (out from the AT to Yellow Mountain bald and then back to...
The Virginia Creeper Trail is 56K in length. The AT from Cross Mountain Road / Hwy 91 (Carter/Johnson County Line) to Damascus is about 20 miles. It's gradual and mostly downhill if you go northeast...
Sincere thanks for the good advice. This will be a day hike, so I have no concerns about busy shelters. Ox, maybe I'll see you on the trail; you'll spot me better if you know that I'm not "Sue." My...
Planning a loop (actually lollipop) hike next week: Starting at Cades Cove, ascending to the AT via Anthony Creek and Russell Field trails, going east on the AT from Russell Field Shelter to Spence...
I want to believe.
Sharon has shuttled me three times in the past month. Always punctual. Good price. Good trail knowledge. Pleasant person to ride with. She and her husband have a loft above their garage which hikers...
Bugs ARE bad on the AT! All bad, all the time. I'm surprised you have to ask! I'm surprised at the above posts. It's not worth talking about. It's a bad poll. It should be a poll instead of a normal...
What about burning a ring on the picnic table by using a stove on it? OK or not OK?
41.5 not OK / 1.5 not OK
Tiptoe says: "Not a very good topic for an opinion poll." Just because you say no and believe it strongly doesn't mean it's a worthless poll. It was apparently worthwhile...
28 not OK / 1 OK
Tally after 12 responses: 12 not OK / 0 OK
Here begins an opinion poll, in the "Straight Forward" section in hopes of keeping it streamlined. Please answer w/ your opinion. Is it OK or not OK to write/draw on AT shelter walls, posts, beams,...
The roman numerals in CVte pVrpLe DInosaVr add to 666. Thus Barney is the AntiChrist. Being "anti Christ," Barney and presumably dinosaurs or all colors are not humble, as per an earlier post....
Thanks for the good advice.
Thanks for any shuttle recommendations you have to offer for this area just northeast of Front Royal.
Was there today. Yes, it's open.
Botetourt (Virginia county which includes Daleville): BAHD-i-tot. Wayah (a bald and a shelter in NC): WHY-uh (as opposed to WAY-uh). Nantahala: Nan-tuh-hall-uh (as opposed to Nan-tuh-hale-uh).
Headed to Tellico Gap soon. Seems like that area should be accessible ... right? Thanks.
I've asked this question on WB, and I got helpful answers. Go to page 2 of the "trail heads and shuttles" section, scroll down about half way.
