I am taking presales orders for the 2020 edition of WhiteBlaze Pages. A Complete Appalachian Trail guidebook.
Many new features this year. The book continually expands each year on the information it provides.

New to the book this year:

Amicalola Falls State Park information, along with complete data on the Approach Trail, including a trail profile, elevations and GPS coordinates, facts that are not found in other guidebooks.
Over 2,000 GPS coordinates.
Appalachian Trail Shuttle Providers listing and corresponding map.
Interactive town maps available on Google.
Index in the back of the book listing all AT shelters, trail towns, some hostels and historic places.
Index in back of book listing all town maps in the book.
Many more features, but unable to list all of them here.

Top of Georgia Hostel and Hiking Center - FOR SALE

Published on 10-21-2019 20:44

Top of Georgia Hostel and Hiking Center was a trail icon for years on the AT located at NOBO mile 69.2 / Dicks Creek Gap, Hiawassee GA. After supporting thousands of hikers Bob "Sir-Packs-Alot" Gabrielsen has closed the hostel and it is now for sale.

Bob wants to thank everyone that made that dream come to life as he moves into a new chapter of his life out west.

Interested buyers should contact Brenda Jackson at Mountain Realty in Hiawassee, GA at 404-281-5321

How many section hikers and thru-hikers carry a GPS when you hike the Appalachian Trail and plot locations during your hike?
Lets hear about it after you vote.

Rusty’s Hard Time Hollow in Virginia 16.7 miles south of Rockfish Gap is currently up for sale.

Rusty has had health issues recently and will be moving once his property has sold. He has listed it with a realtor and there is a promotional website. You can view the listing and see a video online at www.rustyshardtimehollow.com.

Rusty wants 2019 hikers to visit since this might be his final year owning the property. He especially would like to see previous hikers and friends.

This is one of the original AT hostels from days past; visit before it becomes history.

Call and talk to Rusty at 540-377-9742 if you have questions or would like to visit or stay.

To get to Rusty’s from Maupin Field Shelter turn left on fire road (just north of Maupin Field Shelter), walk 1.2 miles west to the Blue Ridge Parkway, then turn left (south), walk or hitch the parkway 1.3 miles to Rusty’s driveway on the left, at BRP mile 16.7. Gravel driveway has a gray, pipe gate with Rusty’s name and AT stickers on one end. Thru-hikers and section hikers are welcome. The no-trespassing signs are for the non-hikers. Rustic hostel includes a cabin, bunkhouse, springhouse, outhouse, rainwater shower, tent sites available. Shuttles to Waynesboro occasionally and back to the fire road, if you pitch in for gas. Rides to nearby Sherando Lake for swimming during hot weather. Donations for stay are encouraged. No illegal drugs permitted on the premises.
