I like where this thread is headed. All should seek the path less traveled if the AT is to survive. Have an open mind!

WOW - I just hike! I like to do it - that's it - that's all of it - the only rules are the rules you learned from your mother - don't be a slob - cleanup your mess - keep your mouth shut - if you...

I would suggest all info gleaned and emotions rendered from your sojourn, both in and out of the woods, be journaled completely and preserved in a safe place. In searching and finding my ancestors...

I envision a hostel that brews & serves its own beer & bottles its own wine on a very small scale - legally! As soon as I hit the lottery there will be just that!

When you have complete control of any alcohol brought into your hostel you can control when, where and how it is consumed. A two beer limit or an equal amount of wine should be sufficient- if more is...

Airline alcohol policy seems ok -
1- you can't bring alcohol on premises
2- you cannot come on premises noticeably intoxicated
3- only alcohol purchased at hostel (beer & wine only) may be...

To each his own - others will fill the need if a need appears! Making a profitable business of an AT hostel is pretty close to living on lottery winnings. The knifes edge between satisfying Hikers &...

Let me know if I can help you in that area - I have a cabin about 3/4 mi from Va 615 Laurel Creek. Bubba is the man for shuttles in that area and if I'm around I try to help with his overflow as much...

Unless the Rodo is in bloom there not much to see up there- the one night I spent there I was almost blown off the mountain - Carver's Gap is simple enough to negotiate - for my .02 just head for 19E...

That should have been Woody Gap north over Blood Mountain to Neal's Gap.

Dick's Creek Gap north over Blood Mountain - a good hike with a good ending - easy shuttles!

Hikers should certainly have an option but for now it the GSMNP or a huge hassle. What trails or areas outside the park would be viable options?


Tapatalk

I was just wondering if others were as put-off as me with what was once a favorite hike back in the day! So it's not just me!


Tapatalk

Curious - why you didn't consider the GSMNP section and why no one recommended it?


Tapatalk

Wow - as we say along the southern half of the trail - things ain't what they use to be! Takes a technocrat to thru-hike these days for sure!

As I enter my sixth decade on this planet, I'm trying to extend my decades of enjoying the AT. At home I try to walk 3-5 miles 2 or 3 times a week. But my walks on flat level surfaces exercise just a...

If you ain't rollin' you ain't on the AT

Just depends on whether you have the 'China's' to beg!

That feeling of comradery among total strangers is only one of the many aspects of the AT that pulls me back over and over again. The trail community always makes you feel like family, only...

So I take it, a 'donation only' hostel is inappropriate & ill conceived?

Most would be surprised to see how much the pro-panhandlers rake in! Gave $3 to a woman @ Bland Kangaroo - clerk told me she was a pro that worked their parking lot on a regular basis - she had a car...
