    The trail continues thru roads and neighborhoods until mile 55.9 where the road walk ends. There is a shelter at mile 51.3 which will be your only camping option in that section. Best of luck!

    Shuttle with child- Georgia

    Wolf Laurel is just above Tesnatee Gap so I don't think the OP is asking someone to take her child without her.
  4. Garmin Messenger vs InReach Mini (the first gen)

    Bag Temp Question

    A puffy is never overkill, I would say it's mandatory. You'll be OK, maybe, if you sleep warm but the Smokies and high elevations will still have cold nights. I have a pile of sleeping bags but none...

    Beech Gap to The Hangover

    Can y'all enlighten me on how to find the spring at Naked Ground? We camped in the gap but didn't wander down the hill on either side to look for water.

    Breaking camp in the morning

    I empty the pad while I'm laying on it just to make that part easy. I've usually changed clothes and gotten ready to bail out of the tent at that point though.

    Thanks for the report. Assume these trails were in reasonable shape or did you have to spend time with the loppers and pruners?

    A candle In The Tent

    I love UCO lantern in a shelter, especially when I am alone. also nice on a tree limb at camp, just for effect. I don't use it in a tent though...I'm too worried about my precious Silnylon.
