Description

I will be attempting to hike from Rockfish Gap to US522 in three days...

Monday night we meet and shuttle vehicles. (There is a chance that HM will be in the area the following Friday, and if so we will not have to shuttle as she will get us back to Rockfish Gap).
We will be sleeping in the vehicles at the trailhead on Monday night.

Tuesday.... we will be hiking from Rockfish Gap to Hightop Hut..41 Miles.. 27 miles into the hike we can resupply at Loft Mountain Camp store, only 70 yards off trail..

Wednesday.... Hightop Hut to Byrds Nest #3 Shelter.. 34 miles. Early Resupply at Lewis Mountain Campground. Other potential resupply point is Big Meadows Campground but it is a distance from the trail...

Thursday.... Byrds Nest 3 shelter to US 522.. an easy 31 miles... Early Resupply at Elkwallow Wayside including a blackberry Milkshake... We can then either shuttle back to Rockfish Gap, Go into front royal for the night, or sleep on the trail somewhere..

Come on.. you know you want to do this....

PS I also have an itinerary for stretching this into a 3.5 (or 4) day hike...
