    HWY 431 Parking

    I'm planning a hike from Adams Gap, across Cheaha to Hwy 431, but I'm concerned about parking where the Pinhoti crosses 431.

    Any of you got any ideas other than just parking on the shoulder?

    Yes, I did. Maybe a half mile or so before the trail meets the FS road again. As I recall it appeared to be more hammock friendly than tent friendly, but it was a good looking spot.

    Burgess Point

    I'm going to be hiking the section between Porter's Gap and Adam's Gap soon and it appears the trail wraps around Burgess Point as opposed to going over the top of it.

    I was curious if any of you...

    Great news!

    So maybe I missed it, but where exactly is this extension? Is it the first 5.3 miles of the trail?

    Blisterbob,

    Since you seem to be a good source of Pinhoti info, what sort of obstacles need to be cleared to move the southern terminus to the actual summit of Flag Mtn? The CCC Watchtower seems...

    If true (not that I'm doubting you BB, but you did say rumor), this is awesome news. The road walks may be one of the biggest hindrances to the trail's overall popularity.

    That's good to hear. This was the most hell-acious part of the trail when we hiked it last fall. Absolutely unbearable.

    I wonder if they found any bodies when they cleared it out?
