I'd posted earlier on my upcoming section hike in May, but though I'd throw this out there for people with trail knowledge. I've taken vacation days from work from May 13th thru the 22nd. I want to hike into Trail Days and spend at least one full day there, possibly two, and then hike on north. On the May 23rd, as serendipity would have it, I'm to attend a conference that my employer will pay for, and they'll also pick up the cost of my travel back home.
My question for the group is...where should I start from? I'm thinking Roan Mountain, but is that too little mileage? I think I'll be able to do 12 to 15 miles per day, and I don't want to be late to the conference. If I'm behind on mileage, I'll simply skip Trail Days and keep hiking, maybe only spending a couple of hours there...
Does that sound reasonable to y'all?
