A couple of friends and I have been doing after-Xmas section hikes since 2004. Last year we did Davenport Gap to Sam's Gap, NC. We're are picking up where we left off last year and hiking 97.5 miles N to Dennis Cove.
I'm parking my car at Dennis Cove and Bob Peoples, of Kincora Hikers Hostel, is shuttling us down to Sam's Gap under I-26. We are starting on Sat. 12/26 and finishing 8 days later on Jan. 2nd, 2010.
We're gonna be covering all the balds and the last spot over 6000 ft until Mt. Washington in the Whites of NH. To say I'm excited would be a bit of an understatement.
It appears we may see a little more Winter than usual this time. It's all good. Plus it's gonna be cool as heck seeing all this territory again around mid-May on my thru.
