    Either way you can't go wrong. Extending out on the SOBO side, to just north of Pearisburg (VA 641, Clendennin Road), will quickly take you up to Peters Mtn for a nice ridge walk before taking you...

    Thanks, everyone... I'm going SOBO from PenMar, which is quite rocky and involves a bit of scrambling for the first 2ish miles up to High Rock. That's the only place I'm concerned about.

    I'd think you'd have a bit of trouble finding suitable hammock spots, but it is certainly doable, as long as you have a fairly open window for finding spots and are willing to carry water a bit.

    My general rule of thumb is 1 liter per 4-5 miles, plus 1/2 liter for every 1,000' gained. So, if I know I have 10 miles to the next water source, and there's a 1,000' climb in between, 2.5 liters...

    Hoping Monsoon season doesn't extend too far into August this summer, but maybe I'm just being too selfish :)

    I agree; sounds like an outing on the Quehanna Trail or Allegheny Front Trail would be better for this type. More (potential) campsites to choose from, and generally MUCH less crowded.
