    AT Section Hike

    I will be leaving out of North Mississippi and traveling through Nashville around 10:30 pm or so in the near future. I will be continuing my journey the next morning to my final destination and trailhead. Could anyone give a bit of advice on where we could hang just outside of Nashville upon arrival. I mean who wants to sleep in a motel when you have your hammock ready to hang??? Would prefer it be West of Nashville. Maybe around Mount Juliet or Silver Point? Thanks!!

    Well, Mt. Juliet is east of Nashville, not west. Still, how many of you? I'd offer you my yard or spare bedroom, but would need to know a number. PM me your cell, if you like, and I'll call. Better yet, email me. I'll get it quicker.

    West of Nashville? Take a look at Montgomery Bell State Park. Might work for you.

    Near MJ, try long hunter state park. 5 mile hike in, but that's about it. Hope rainman hooked you up!

    Re: Camping near Nashville

    I once camped at Cedars of Lebanon State Park. Might be further east than you'd like to travel, but I started at Little Rock at noon that day.

    Thanks all! Yes, East of Nashville is what I meant. Rain Man, please be looking for a Email. We have not decided on the section yet but we will be doing a bit of shopping in downtown Hot Springs, NC if that gives you a hint! Still trying to finalize our plans.
