    I’m going to disagree about Wi-Fi being that big of an issue on the AT. Cell signals and service are good enough to stream videos and social media apps on the trail. Military personnel aren’t getting...

    That is my thinking as well. That hostel is tight quarters and probably not fit to be filled with a bunch of hikers. Aside from camping just up the hill, Bull Gap is 0.9 mi north and has plenty of...
