good to hear. Thanks.

I am trying to help a few friends that want to meet up with me on my section this summer so I told them I would work out all the logistics so they can just show up and hike.

We need to get off...

Thanks for the resource! guess we will be rethinking that plan

I have a few friends meeting me for a couple days on my Damascus-Carvers Gap section this summer and am wondering if there is any parking near the trail off Walnut Mountain Road crossing (is right...

STAY AT WOODS HOLE! of course this is after you catch your breath at angels rest

I use daily contacts (new pair everyday - greatest advice Ive ever taken about contacts/glasses - love them!) and I bring glasses for night. Just sanitize before putting in and taking out contacts.

ya... Ive done from Pearisburg down to Damascus so Ive been through the highlands.... craziest night Ive ever spent out on the trail on top of the highlands. So foggy I could barely see my hand on my...

That would leave me about a 15 mile day for pickup on TN143.... sounds like a plan is staring to come together

I dont use a sleeping bag - i just stick with the thermolite tech blanket snapped to the fitted sheet. i was a bit chilly up on the greyson highlands this past summer (as in my hands and feet in...
