Anybody out there on the trail right now in GA

[wordstew]

I'd be curious to get a few updates RE: real time weather, trail conditions, campsite availability, the shelter crowds anything else of interest

You don't have to be on the trail to answer your questions. Weather: https://www.atweather.org. Trail conditions: Muddy, wet. Campsite availability: get there early. Shelter crowds: forget about a spot in the shelter, especially in the rain. Anything of interest: The trail, hikers dropping out, run on hostels.

Also think the Facebook is a better source than this here corner of the internet

I will be up there Friday-Sunday for ATKO. Last I heard from Redbeard it was rain for today and tomorrow and then clear and cool after that.

I'm not on the trail itself, but I'm nearby. We are under flash flood watch, with moderate to heavy rain through Thursday. Crowds are already showing up, and while it hasn't reached a peak yet you can expect to encounter up to 30 people in any given day right now.

That's exactly what I'm expecting on there. It would probably be a bit of a disappointment if we have more than two sunny days a week.

Yep but starting about this weekend I think there's going to be a week and a half or two weeks of good weather.

Just in time for the next series of storms to hit them while in or near the Smokies...

No rain...
No pain...
No Maine

Personally Ize goin to Arkansas. Where the lows be 30 not 20, and the creeks be full, and the company....nonexistent. for a blissful week of solitude and ideal weather.
