Yes, it's west and that ain't right
Something tells me this is going to be a popular place... I'll be giving it a peek on my way thru
I agree. A hostel that is 1/2 mile away (which means you can arrive and depart on your own schedule) will have a lot of hikers that prefer that over a hotel that is 11 miles away (even considering the free shuttle and the usual easy hitch to Hiawassee). Even a hotel that is arguably the most hiker friendly on the AT. Location, location, location.
Actually the hostel looks like it may be somewhat uphil from the gap.
nope, downhill

and some of you give advice that a compass is wasted weight
He even says, "down in that direction..." Old sign says Rose Haven, wonder if she was any relation to Ron?
It's those wiggly country roads.
You never know just what you can do until you realize you absolutely have to do it.

U.S. highways that are even numbered run East = West; odd numbered run North = South.....hope this helps!
Sure to be popular...except by those wishing for some privacy.

WOW free Internet and long distance phone thats worth it, so how much would a shuttle be to Hiawassee for none quest, lets say that I wanted to go into town get resupplied and come straight back to the trail.
Typo was my fault. Sorry, I didn't mean to stir up so much excitement.

New Hostel at Dick's Creek Gap
Sly, are you also known as Sir-packs-a-lot, or is that someone else? Are you Bob? Are you the owner? Please straighten it all out.

I know the answer to that question... they aren't the same person. Sir-packs-a-lot- aka Bob Gabrielsen is the owner.
Sly is known as sly.. lol!

Sly and Bob "Sir Packs Alot" Gabrielsen are 2 different people.
Sly edits The Companion and organizes the Southern Ruck as a labor of love.
Bob will coach you on how to thru hike the AT via email/phone call/skype/and gear shakedown for only $199.
Kinda like comparing Jack and Warren.
Thanks HikerMom.
Sir-packs-a-lot,
I was just looking for a place to camp near Dick's Creek Gap, on my Springer to Damascus section starting late May. Your location is perfect and I'll be sure to stop around June 1st.
