    Default Cloud9 Still Open to AT Hikers

    Cloud9 at this point has not been sold (Lucky hikers). We are still open and plan on being available to hikers as long as we own it. We are looking forward to it.

    Please note : We service UNICOI and DICK's CREEK GAP.
    We do not provide shuttle service anywhere except to and from Unicoi and Dicks Creek Gap, and to town and back for resupply in the afternoon and is included with your stay.

    We will still accept mail drops. We do not accept reservations but can accomodate 20+ people per night. You are welcome to call ahead for any information or support you may need. 706 896 8959

    Now on to the important question.

    Are you planning another St. Patrick's Day party?

    Default St Paddy's party

    Yes, but I will not be doing any cooking this year. It was too much last year, even with two non hikers helping me full time - for days ahead in preparation.

    So I will post more as the date gets closer and decide too what to do, by then. Maybe a pot luck? The point is It will need much more assistance this year, especially since I won't be here. A month later I was loopy.

    Plus I will be representing myself in a Georgia State Food Contest "Flavor of GA" Guess what my entry is?.............Yup Smoked Trout Dip.

    Do you do shuttles from DC Gap to town and back, or only for people that stay at your place?

    Thanks
    Just hike.

    Hi Nightwalker

    We only shuttle guests staying at our place to and from town for resupply.

    However, SOMETIMES if you are in the right place at the right time and we are going into town we will give any hiker a ride.

    When we are in full swing taking care of hikers staying here, we do not have time to stop everything we are doing to do a shuttle. We had two cars here last year and will only have ONE this year. Unless someone reading this sees it in the heart to donate a vehcile!

    We do have several trail angels show up here, and at the trail to shuttle and there are shuttle services available we refer to. Occasionally hikers need to get back to Neel's Gap/Mountain Crossings for supplies and we just can't do it. If we are able it is rare.

    Default 2 New Bunks

    We have added two new bunkbeds in the downstairs garage at Cloud9.

    We will not separate the sexes, and all beds are first come first served, but I thought it would be nice to let the ladies have this space to themselves. If a bed is ever needed of course the boys can sleep there too.

    It has been very cold here the last several nights. Many hikers have called from Unicoi to come here and two turned back around from Muskrat Creek Shelter to come back here. They just did not have the gear for 0 degrees and high winds.

    2008 Hikers have a great hike, and take care of yourself - especially blisters. If you need help make sure you stop for care whether you stay here or not.

    Unless it catches our eye but we would still take care of the hiker trash.

    Sorry, just saw this. Thanks for the reply.

    As much as I'm addicted to WB, I'm more addicted to hiking, and have been doing an extreme amount lately!
    Just hike.

    Default St Paddy's Day Party - Cloud9

    Yes The party is on for the 17th. I will need support and stuff, please read:

    Everyone is invited. Hikers, neighbors, friends, family, WBlurkers, etc.

    You are also invited to camp or hammock for free the night of the 16th and 17th.

    Other guests can stay in Cloud9 or the bunkhouse as long as there is space - Thru HIKERS HAVE FIRST DIBS, at the regular rates.

    Frank and I will provide free trout and desert.

    Support this effort if you are coming please with a side dish to share and BYOB.

    Come anytime, but let's plan on meal time around 5-6 on the 17th. We will have a fire around the pit (weather permitting). If you play a musical instrument or can provide other form of entertainment (jigglers) please do.

    Last year there was a fee for food and there will not be this year.

    Hikers please come even if you are not staying here, just bring food to share and BYOB. Call us to see if we can shuttle you here from Hiawassee. Ron Haven will bring folks from Franklin.

    Calls welcome if you have any questions. 706 896 8959. LM

    Because I am shy and don't talk very much, Crutch (works at Cloud9) half-jokingly asked me if I I am a "serial killer planning to rape and murder hikers like Meredith."

    We all want to prevent crime on the trail, but accusing a guest of your hostel of that goes too far.

    What Crutch said was the worst thing that anyone has said to me in my life.
