looking in SC

“So, my hiking partner lives in FLA now, looking for someone to do day and weekend hikes w/. i'm in the greenville area.”

“you should check out the Mt Rogers trip thats coming up.”

“how far you want to drive, length of hike, climbing, euipment, KSE?”

“I'n in Columbia, SC. I dayhike up there...”

“I recently visited Congaree NP. Very cool, I say. Not much for elevation change tho.”

“hahaha, elevation change...what's that? you can't find that in Columbia. It's nice just to go there and see the swamp...but you ain't getting any climbs.”

“Hey you've got a lot more elevation change in Columbia than I do in all of Florida.”

“not going to be able to make the mt rogers trip.

zodiacvoodoo, next time you are up this way let me know.

edoc, i'll drive a few hours to do a weekend, i have decent equipment, and like doing 10 or so miles a day.”

“NM”

“I'm 45 minutes from you odin. Jimh is right, the Foothills Trail is perfect. As a matter of fact I'm headed to the annual meeting of the Foothills Trail Conference tomorrow at Table Rock. Friday we will do a hike up Table Rock and Saturday there will be several hikes to choose from including a trail maintenance hike, which I will be on. Then Saturday night we will all gather for a meal in the "barn" and discuss upcoming events, repair needs, and listen to Bob Mancke of SCTV Nature Show. It's always a great time. Wander on up if you can, the weather is going to be perfect!

“yeah i've hiked several sections of the FT. planning on going in a burrells ford weekend after next for a couple of nights. not going to be able to make table rock this weekend, working.”

“A in NC few hours from G'ville would take you to Mt Mitchell and the Black Mt crest, Shining Rock Ledge (Shining Rock and Middle Prong Wilderness. Also the Mountains to Sea trail (which parallels the Blue Ridge Parkway from Cherokee to Boone) from Shining Rock, past Mt Pisgah, around Asheville, to the Craggies and the Blacks. Also the Pisgah Ranger District between the parkway and Brevard and the Panthertown Valley.

In SC: closer your way is the Ellicot Rock wilderness and the FT (both on my list).

In Ga:the AT down around Dicks Creek Gap and Bartram trail.”
