    I have an interest in this.

    There are times that the only way you can do something is to do it alone.

    Great Ewker! I hope you can make it Let me know if there is a area or loop that you have been thinking of doing. You can send me a PM and we'll figure it out. The full three days is not critical either if you only want to do 2. I think my friend from work may join me too, but I don't think 3 days is an option for him.

    I'm also taking a friend from work, so we ended up only doing a Friday/Saturday hike. BUT...I am def open to doing another trail on Sunday if anyone has an interest.

    We are meeting up Thursday evening, July 3, at Smokmont campground, just for convenience. Ewker is going to help me shuttle. We are not doing big miles. The goal for this is hike is enjoying the woods and good company.

    We are going to start at Newfound Gap Road and hike the Thomas Ridge Trail to the MTS trail. Friday night is at CS 52. Hiking back to Newfound road on the Mingus Creek Trail Saturday.

    visionarylion and DomisticTourist: If you are interested in join us (and I hope you can!), please let me know if you want to hike Sunday and I will start researching a possibility for us.

    Sorry to miss this. Would like to hike with you and Ewker, too. We've got company coming. Besides, dogs aren't allowed in the Smokies, so I'm boycotting them.

    Ha! It would have been awesome to see you again! I'll plan another hike on a dog friendly trail. How does September sound to you?
