Sheltowee Trace National Recreational Trail

[Rain Man]

I happened to be hiking in the Big South Fork, to Charit Creek Lodge, this weekend, when I saw a Sheltowee Trace diamond blaze far south and east of the southern terminus in Pickett State Park, where I had started the ST last year. The folks at the Charit Creek Lodge knew nothing about the blaze, except it was very new. When I called Traildust the next day, I discovered that I had totally missed the posted comment about the Sheltowee being extended well south into Tennessee now. WOW! Cool!

The southern terminus is no longer in Pickett State Park, though I understand that is now a spur that still exists. The new southern terminus is 25 miles further south, now temporarily at the Leatherwood Ford Bridge. I also understand a new National Geographic map of the BSF is coming out this year, with the extension marked. All good news.

Here are some links:

You'll have to scroll down on that second one.

Anyway, hope I'm not butting in, but it seems to be public information now, so am sharing news that I had missed.

Thanks to Traildust, Cookerhiker, and the rest, who made this happen. A new trail in Tennessee for my To Do list.
