I actually just ended up parking it there on the side of the road. There was another vehicle there as well and neither one was bothered as the occupants of the other were leaving as we were hiking...

Na, don't do that, it's what adds character ;) . Just out of curiosity, where were you hiking?

Thanks for checking back orangebug. I was not able to get her number before I left, but I had no problems parking in that area. I had a great trip even though we didn't make it to Roan High Knob...

Thanks for the help and advice so far. I may call Ms. Janet but I'll need her number. Thanks again.

Hey everyone, I have a quick ? that I hope you all can help me out w/. I am preparing to hike up to Roan High Knob Shelter this weekend and wanted to put in around Iron Mtn. Gap. Is there any...

I'm not sure it this would be the average for everyone, but I'm happy to share what I use, which some things tend to be the "norm" as it were.

camp shoe? Orange Holey Soles (same as crocs)

And to you, I bid a very Merry Christmas as well. I'll even throw in a Happy New Year to boot. ;)

I too have an iPod and enjoy it quite a lot. As for just listening to the sounds of nature when I hike, I do like to do that. In my case though, after a long day w/ just ear worms roaring in my...

Teatime, glad to hear that you're going up Albert Mtn. As has been stated before, it's worth it for sure. I did it this past MLK weekend and though it was cold as blue blazes (no pun intended :) )...

Great post Fat Man. I have the same feeling of the areas you talked about, i.e. Goldmine Loop and Forney Creek. My thought that if the road is somehow built, it would not only increase the traffic...

I went the the public meeting in Bryson this past winter and they explained fairly well how it would impact the environment. One, there are numerous creeks they would have to cross, which would have...

I was searching through the forums and thought I'd bring this topic back to light. As a long delayed answer to tlbj6142 question I'll put my two cents worth in. I think a lot of ppl want to get out...

Just a reminder that if you plan on staying in GSMNP you have to have a permit and are required to stay at the shelters, at least leagally. You can risk not getting a permit or just sleep wherever,...

As a lifetime Wester Carolinian and recent residence of Swain Co., I am in opposition of the road being built. My family has roots in Swain Co. and they were here when the agreement was first put in...

The orange markings are designating a NC Wildlife area boundry.

I absolutely love the savetoby.com site. It's too funny! I think what makes it funny is the product page with the different slogans and icons. I just just see a mini cult classic coming out of...

Well there ya go. That would indeed be a good place to start if you were interested. Give them a nudge and tell them they can't be outdone by those North Carolina ppl. :bse just kidding of...

Ridge (hikerwife),

I'm not familiar w/ how GA would go about doing it, but you might be able to help start a petition to get one done. As far as who to contact, I would think it would be your...

If you're looking for distances another good site is http://www.ragtag.org/atdist.html It says it uses the 2005 data so it should be accurate for what you are needing. Hope this helps.

For those of you who are interested, the North Carolina Appalachian Trail Tags are finally here! I just got mine in the mail today and have it on my car now :D . For those of you who have waited...

Sorry The#Is10 to burst your bubble, but I too am going by previous claims. Just out of curiosity, when are you going to be on that section? Me and my hiking buddy are going to start at the Dam to...
