    Sarge, thanks for all your hard work on this. The more I read about the BMT the more I want to hike it.

    Default Safe parking at Beech Gap, Cherohala Skyway?

    I am hiking the TN Sections of the BMT. Is it safe to leave a car at Beech Gap, Cherohala Skyway?

    Any great blue blazes, campsites, or problems on the section from the Hiawassee River power house to Beech Gap?

    Thanks
    The trail was here before we arrived, and it will still be here when we are gone...enjoy it now, and preserve it for others that come after us

    I've not had any problems parking at Beech Gap, but I have only left a car there a couple of days.

    Cool Campsites: Whigg Medow and probably the rock quarry. Tate Gap is also cool with the old house. At tate gap you will see the BMT turn left to go up a knob from an old jeep road (assuming you are going north). If you stay on that old jeep road about 0.1m you will come to a great campsite with a dug spring box, firewood, and a nice grassy spot it looks like someone had dug out to build a cabin but never did. It's in a nice little sheltered holler so it would be a great place if there was wind coming.

    Here is a picture of the house a Tate Gap: http://www.trailjournals.com/photos....=293140&back=1
