Would love to hear any reaction to this trip planned for early October. Starting on Tellico River Road at the Pheasant Fields picnic area, the plan is for 3 easy nights south on the BMT with 5 old guys.

First, we head south to the Brookshire Creek trail, taking the side trip to the falls, then again south to Sled Runner Gap (taking the side trip to Beaver Dam Bald). Then we head south again on the BMT down to Waucheesi Bald. We'd then backtrack north on the BMT to Kirkland Creek trail, following it to the road where we cross the river to find our 2nd vehicle waiting for us. Seems like a mid 20s mile trip that will be a nice way to spend a Friday to a Monday exploring. Campsites will be chosen as we go... no set schedule for stopping, just where it feels best.

A couple guys considering bringing Tenkara rods to see what the brook trout situation is like. I'm also hoping Tipi has done his trail clearing magic work in this area! Any reaction?
