Hello all,
I'm trying to sneak away from the heat of Tampa in a few weeks for a 7-day walk in the N. Ga mountains. Earlier this year, in mid Apr, I did a section hike from Springer to the NOC (wonderful time.....Hi Poppins!) and thought I would try a section of the BMT this time or perhaps a combination of trails...
My plan is to drive up from Fl, park the truck and stay a night at the Hiker Hostel for a shuttle to Springer the next morning. Originally I had planned on walking the BMT to the Thunder Rock Campground where I would then find my way back to the HH to pick up my truck.
Now I'm wondering if there isn't a 100 mile (+/-) loop that I might be able to walk instead, e.g. start and end at Springer or somewhere else in the area?
Any suggestions? I'd like to walk the BMT but I'm not strictly wed to that plan.
Thanks in advance.
