Looking for partners to hike from Fontana Dam to Hot Springs (107 miles), starting on May 16. Trip is expected to take 8 to 10 days. There are currently 3 hikers in the group (2 gals and 1 guy all over 50). We are planning to meet in Gatlinburg on the 15th or 16. That could change depending on individual travel plans. Hike is open to all hikers, regardless of age, gender, race, creed, hiking experience, political affiliation, or musical tastes. Our goal is simply to enjoy the trail and make new friends along the way. If interested, e-mail me at [email protected]. I will be leaving from the Baltimore area so if there's anyone in central MD or southern PA who needs a ride, just let me know.
