Hey all, I'm hoping to do at least 1, if not 2, 100-120 mile sections in VA this year and looking for suggestions. It'll be a week long hike with 1 Food drop in the middle and we'd really like that food drop to be ON trail. Thats the tough part in VA, Hot Springs and Damascus made this easier to plan last year!
So my biggest question is good spots to do a food drop and then I can plan from there. As section hikers we typically do Mtn house meals, and don't actually cook, so any trail towns/resupply spots that provide them will work too. Just don't want to take much time to shuttle to a town since it's a short trip. I've hiked everything up to Narrows, VA so my sections will all be north of there.
How about Middle creek campground? Big Meadows Lodge/campground? Any others?
I know, we should cook more! But when you only do a week at most it's just too easy to do the meals.
Thanks,
Daybreak
