Let me know what you decide, I may be up for joining in on a early start date.

Yeah a road crossing at VA 603. It is 20 miles from Whitetop Mountain Rd. Although it is an immediate steep climb of 1500 feet over 3 miles.
Other option is to go to Scales which is right after the big climb from 603 and go SOBO from there.
If we started Sunday a good plan would be
Short hike to Wise shelter Sunday afternoon 2 miles
Monday hike to Thomas Knob Shelter 6 miles
Tuesday would be a short 7 mile day to meet up with the group at Whitetop Mountain. 6miles
Wed Lost Mountain Shelter 6 miles
Thurs going to attempt to push on to Feathercamp Ridge depending on weather may stay with the group and stop at Saunders 12 miles/6 miles
Either a early morning short or long hike into Damascus Friday. 5 miles/9 miles
Shuttle is $30 from MRO.

This from the man who's sig says not to ask him for directions...
on a side note... Anyone know the bug conditions for the Damascus area for trail days? Bug net hammock mandatory? Can I get away with an open hammock??

WrongTurn's comment on camping in swamp doesn't sound good. I've been told by others to be prepared for bugs.

Hmmm... I like the daily miles. And it gives room for going the extra distance. We don't have to camp at the shelters....
Let me know what you want to do. We'll need to set up a shuttle by the middle of the week. Also starting on Sunday for me depends on whether or not my TQ from Stormcrow gets here by this Friday. If it doesn't come before the hike I won't be able to go.
