Great report as always. An inspiration to us all.
Your trip reports are the reason I visit WB. What an adventure! I need to spend more time on the BMT.
I blame the WB moderators. Too strict, shut down on-going discussions.
That is why I quit posting and giving financial support to WB.
Yes, one of my favorites.
I had a bear come into camp at Blue Mountain Shelter on the AT last summer. I did not know it at the time, but there was a problem bear. I was wondering why I was the only one there.
About 6:30...
Which is why I always carry pepper spray. And not the watered down stuff for bears, the stronger spray for humans.

I so look forward to your trip reports. And always, I cannot believe how heavy a pack you carry.
I took few days off next week. I am going to try to hit some of the areas you visited.

9.6 ounces
This is what I wear in camp. Also great as water shoes. Order one size larger than normal. They weigh about half as much as Crocs.

Don't worry about closed shelter signs, that is for sleeping in the shelter only. You can still camp out around the shelters. I was at a shelter a few weeks ago with that sign, people were sleeping...
The remnants of Hurricane Sally will be passing through. You will have more water than you will know what to do with.
You never know about crowds this time of year on the cusp of Autumn but I...
I have the perfect trail for you - Mullen's Cove Loop

Tipi, I love your trip reports. You are a true badass. Happy 70th.
My trail name is Carl. That is the name my parents gave me.
I actually think trail names are silly but to each his own.
You can camp wherever you want on the Georgia AT. You can still camp in the areas by the shelters even if the shelter itself is closed. I hiked the Standing Indian loop last weekend in N.C. and...
That looks like a good plan. One thing you might consider is caching food at either Woody Gap (mile 21) or Neel Gap (mile 32) or possibly both. That would save you from having to carry all that...
I live in Georgia and Woody Gap on the AT was more crowded then I have ever seen last weekend. But if you walk a mile away from parking, the crowds thin to near nothing.
As a poster mentioned...
The one positive to the coronavirus outbreak, not having to actually sleep in GSMNP shelters. I wonder if that will be permanent? I sure hope so. I could never imagine sleeping in a shelter with a...
Cheese factory is a 1 mile hike from Indian Grave gap so it would be a haul to bring in a cooler. It is a pretty large area so you could find a peaceful place even if it was crowded. I don't think...
Be warned, these t-shirt sizes are way off. I wear a large and I could barely get this shirt on and off. Not happy.
The Smokies are up and running. I was there last weekend and heading there again this weekend. The park service is also waiving the $4 per night reservation fee for the park.
I parked at Deep...
Just bought a t-shirt. Thanks for the post.
Going to the Smokies this weekend. The backcountry permit system is up and running this morning.
No matter what authorities may be to safe guard, you can't fix stupid. This idiot caused two deaths.
