I am in the early stages of planning a section hike from Franklin NC to Damascus, VA in the spring of 2019.It could go further north as I need to complete the trail up to the Black Rock shelter. I am looking for hiking partner(s) who enjoy the walk and not the destination, male or female, but no dogs. I quite often backpack with female hikers from our hiking club in PA. I would like to hike NOBO and have some help with the shuttle from Damascus to NC or some other mode of transportation. not sure of what's available. Dates are flexible at this time, but I would like to avoid the NOBO bubble and Damascus days. I have completed about one-half of the trail. .
If this sounds like something you would be interested in please contact me and give me your thoughts on the hike.
