Has anyone thru hiked this trail or large parts of it? I have Rock's guide, but any pointers or advice would be appreciated. i'll be doing it in December/January and going NOBO.
Thank You.

You can hammock the entire way.
Hi KK. I saw your thread over at Whiteblaze. I am seriously considering doing it this December - retiring effective 12/1 from one job and hope to hit the BMT a week later, southbound. I'll probably get off for Christmas for a few days and then go back and finish it. I'm going back to work in January in a different job...
I've got Rock's book and the maps too. So many places are closed that time of year that I think I will probably put out some caches. For instance I could put one at Smokemont and the Road to Nowhere and TwentyMile and so forth. Of course it would take a couple of days or more to hide all the caches, but it might be worth it. It could certainly save a lot of time as opposed to trying to get to town.
I think it would be a good way to do it.Quote:
