This is another one of those segments along the AT that is so beautiful and challenging to do.

Meet at the Dragons Tooth Trail Head April 17th off road 311. Take the Dragons Tooth Trail Head,1.2 miles blue blaze,rated as moderate. NOT the boy scout trail. (if you do take the boy scout trail you can intersect the AT and head south bound to find us.) We can camp at the Trail intersection AT- DRAGONS TOOTH TRAIL. Bring some water with you , there are a couple of streams along the Dragons Tooth Trail , but I have no way of knowing if they will be flowing.

Friday morning head down and cross SR 785 and on to Beckner Gap. There will be some streams along this section for tanking up. Continue along Catawba Mountain crossing rd 311. There is a parking lot here if some of you want to meet us here friday evening. The plan is to camp at Catawba Mt shelter or in the area friday night.

Saturday head up Catawba Mountain up to McAfee Knob, said to be most photographed place along the AT. After a lunch at McAfee we bolt down to Campbell shelter or general area and camp saturday. If we are making good time we could continue on to Tinker Mt. but need to have plenty of water.

Sunday move out up to Tinker Cliffs and then down along the Andy Lane trail 2 miles to my Truck to shuttle back to Dragons Tooth Trail Head.


Eat at THE HOME PLACE in Catawba. Sunday. BRING YOUR CAMERA.

" Those who cannot get to this trip on thursday or friday morning can meet at the parking area at Catawba Mt on rd 311. Catawba Shelter on Friday evening and meet us there. You will still see awesome views of some of the most beautiful areas along the AT.

After the trip we can eat at the Famous Home Place that caters to the thru hikers. I have personally eaten here and this is a thru hikers HEAVAN. All you can eat and drink, with deserts.

Glad I found this place so I can still go on this trip. Right now it looks like I will not be able to make it on thursday. With my toe still hurting, I don't feel I will be able to make the 10 miles on Friday so I will probably meet up with yall on fraiday evening.
