    Default Places to watch World Cup Final?

    I am starting my NOBO Thru on July 6th and was wondering if I could find a place to watch the world cup final on July 11th. So I was wondering if there was any know "hiker friendly" sports bars (if there is such a thing) around Cherry Log, Blue Ridge or FS 64 at Watson Gap.

    kinda off topic..but,

    The Argentina vs Germany game may be better than whatever final comes out of it.

    I can't imagine you'll find a whole lot of interested locals in THAT neck of the woods.
    But you never know.
    Don't let your fears stand in the way of your dreams

    Go watch it at wal-mart! You can even bring you a lawn chair
    in from the gardening dept.

    Really? A NOBO thru hike starting in July? Why not SOBO? Will you be able to finish NOBO with winter weather ... Baxter Park closed ... Katahdin likely closed, etc.? Or are you planning a three month hike? Just curious.

    I think the OP is doing the Benton MacKaye trail, not the AT.

    There are some B&Bs in the Cherry Log/Blue Ridge area/ You may not have the same atmosphere as a bar, but you could probably get beer and watch the games.

    You know I just might do that. Shouldn't be too hard to find a walmart. I used to watch entire movies on displays at circuit city with a couch, surround sound and big hdtv.

    Don't really mind alcohol not being available as I am under age. However I wouldn't mind sinking my teeth into a cheeseburger and a shake.
