    Newby

    Just found and joined this forum yesterday. I'm retired, live in the foothills of NC and hope to start doing some serious day hikes which could turn into some overnights. Had hoped to hike a little today, but think most of the streams are out of their banks and still some rain in the forecast for this afternoon. Thinking of hitting Linville Gorge and wondering which trail off the 105 side would be appropriate for a first solo hike in that area. Hiked 8 miles in the South Mountain State Park the other day with no issues, but I know that isn't the Gorge. Also did the Rock Jock Trail with some friends a few months ago, but would prefer to make it down to the river this time. Also, not far from the Wilson Creek area and interested in trails up that way too. Looking forward to using this forum.

    Welcome aboard and hello from Charlotte!
    There's lots of great info here.
    If you want to meet some fellow hangers, the John Rock hang is happening now. You'll find a thread on it in the trip planning section. There are also some other choices coming up.

    Welcome to the forums, cfile!
    I got in a fight one time with a really big guy, and he said, "I'm going to mop the floor with your face." I said, "You'll be sorry." He said, "Oh, yeah? Why?" I said, "Well, you won't be able to get into the corners very well."

    Welcome! There are some Gorge Rats lurking out there that can help answer your questions. Hopefully they'll chime in.
