It was a very pleasant hike. Of course this is Alabama and it varires. I can be hot or or we could have freezing rain.

I will post some photos soon. It looks as if the 16-17 mile hike is the preferred option.

My bad Ewker. It should read Mr. Parkay's maps 11 & 12. I'm still learning my numbers.

Anyone that wants to do this trip but can not make it until Saturday could meet up with us at Adam's gap Saturday morning around say 10:00-11:00 am.

no problem, I haven't had a chance to look at them anyway. Do you have the 2010 Pinhoti Trail Pocket Guide, if so what do you think of it?

Count me in if there is room! I have been wanting to do that loop in the winter, I was there last July. Could not see my feet hit the ground on skyway for the overgrowth! Just kept thinking I would step on a snake!! I'm for whatever the majority wants, Backpack or Dayhike, either way I'm good to go!!! If we voting, I say backpack!!

I'm interested! I will have my new BB then and would like to give it a try. Would like to meet all the folks from HF too!

I have the 2009 version. Much the same as the 2010. I find it useful especially for water sources. I am planning to thru hike it in NOBO April and will rely on it heavily.
