My friend and I only have 30ish days so we thought we could start around the VA/TN line and go NOBO at least to McAfee Knob. We think for our age and health we could handle 10-13 miles a day. We have to be back in Florida NLT 30 April 2019.

1. Anybody been in VA area late March? Should we expect snow?
2. Do we need to factor in a zero day? It appears the elevation changes aren't too drastic in that stretch.
3. Any recommendations on the best place to get on the trail in or around the TN/VA border?


Thanks much.
