    Default Dry Towns

    Does anyone know where a list of the dry resupply towns might be found I don't want to walk for miles down a road only to find no beer. Also is a list of ABC stores available?Close to the AT of course,

    Blairsville, Ga. is dry.
    Helen, Ga. has liquor and beer.
    Hiawassee, Ga. has beer.
    Franklin, N.C. has liquor and beer
    Wesser,N.C. is dry but nearby Bryson City has liquor and beer
    Fontana Dam I hear has beer now.
    Gatlinburg has everything
    Hot Springs, N. C. has beer
    Erwin,Tn. has beer
    Hampton, Tn. has beer
    Damascus, Va. has beer

    Just about every town from Damascus to Maine has beer, wine, liquor.

    I believe that the NOC now has beer, if that's what you meant by Wesser.

    Why even bother hiking the AT? just go sit yourself down in a big bar in some city. It is obvious where your priorities are!!!

    What's the big deal about someone having an adult beverage during their hike?

    Don't do this, don't do that, no listening to music, no smoking, no drinking, no slackpacking, no blue blazing, no having fun, only miles and pain are the order of the day! Good grief...

    Well said Sir.

    Now which towns have dehydrated booze in burnable containers?

    You know as part of my journey, I have pledged to myself to try and stop judging people and things, to try and be more of an un-biased observer, to be silent in my mind and just observe. Man, is it hard and lots of setbacks, but I do find it easier every day. I also find that just concentrating on doing this has helped my outlook on life in general already! I don't feel like everyone is an idiot anymore.

    "Be good and you will be lonesome" M. Twain

    There is a road, no simple highway,
    Between the dawn and the dark of night,
    And if you go no one may follow,
    That path is for your steps alone

    the NOC had beer as of October. I stopped off there to buy some gear for my daughter before we did our BMT section hike through the Smokies and I asked at the store if they had finished their tennis court. Apparently due to some quirk in county or state law they had to provide some sort of recreational facility to qualify for a beer and wine license. I didn't actually BUY a beer, but the salesman at the register told me that, yes, they had finished the tennis court and now had a license.

    So, not proof positive perhaps but a strong indication that you can now get a cool one at the NOC.
