I'm section hiking the AT (I've done CT/NY border thru Glasgow a few years ago) and was thinking about starting up in Glasgow, VA (Mile 787) and heading south thru Bland or Damascus (Mile 470). I'm driving from midwest beginning in late September and hiking for 2-3 weeks and had a few questions:
- What is the availability of shuttles in the area?
- Are there plenty of places to resupply?
- It looks like (from Guthook guide) that there is plenty of water now. Any guesses on water availability in Sept/October
- Are hostels, hotels open? I'd mainly sleep in my tent and stay out of shelters.
- Anything else I should be aware of?
Had planned to do a section hike in May of this year but delayed till now.
Thanks for your help!
