Looks like I won't be able to make it

Sorry for the the long post
I take it this is parking lot where the AT spur trail is and not the parking lot up the road a bit. I will most likely be doing a 3 - 5 day hike spending the first night...

I should be able to make it

I think it was 2013 or 2014 that a couple hike the trail and then continued on hiking the AT. I can't rememder their trail names but I think they documented their experience on Trailjournals .

How about the Great Eastern Trail - should be much less crowded

I have the Palisade and love it. Quality is top notch and when I corresponded with the company via email on sizing they got back to me within hours. I would not hesitate to buy from them again

I have the MLD prophet and have used for 3 -4 day backpacking trips including Dolly Sods and think it is a great pack

Saw it when they did the road show in Erwin Tn. Bought the dvd. Really enjoyed it.

Check Bucks30 journal on Postholer. Excellent journal plus a very good post hike advice.
