    If that is the exit near Atkins, check with Long Neck Lair, the alpaca farm. You can park there, it's about .25 from the exit, and they will shuttle you.

    Tent Sites on Chestnut Ridge, VA

    Any good tent sites between Walker Gap and Va 623? Expect to hike farther than the shelter and the gap, but not as far as Davis Farm.

    Don't try to cook in a jetboil or jetboil-like apparatus. Just means you'll be hiking with a dirty jetboil. Boil water for steamer bag cooking.

    The patch of grass between where the blue blaze comes out of the woods and the barn is one of the best tenting spots on the whole AT. Incredible view across the valley and a gajillion stars at night.

    FS 103 to Big Horse Gap

    Anyone know how good is this road from Va 663 to the trail crossing at Big Horse Gap? On the map it appears to be a road up to a cell or radio tower, wondering how good a road it is.

    Lick Creek Crossing

    Looks like the bridge at the Lick Creek crossing is still out. AT says it's usually knee deep but no indication how wide. What is that crossing like?

    Standing Indian Campground, you can camp there and there are various blue blazes to the AT from the campground, or you can get right on the AT at Rock Gap, just up the road from the campground.
