Hoi as many of you know is hiking the AT N. Bound. I did a 25 miles section with him and he wanted to throw down a HIKER FEED and invite all the TTer's.....FREE FOOD and DRINKS, LIBATIONS as long as the coolers have'm.
Scales On Pine Mt as the AT goes right through this area and there is a good gravel little rocky road that a high clearance vehicle can do very easily. Hoi has actually had his little Honda car up there several times so the road is very well maintained. You can also park at Grayson Highlands State Park and hike in from there. 2 possibilities one from the AT spur trail parking lot and other being from the Camp ground taking the seed trail to Wise shelter then the scales trail from there. CAMPING....FOOD.....DRINKS......BEVERAGES......and good ole FUN so come and join HOI as he promotes this HIKER FEED for all you TTer's who want to car camp or backpack and see this beautiful area along the AT.....

ugh... that's a long way for me to go for a night of debauchery. Can we keep track of his progress and offer something in the PA area? That would be a good thing. Maybe at that shelter just south of Delaware Water Gap. We've done that before.

I'm sure Hoi will do that when he gets to Pa area. Sounds like something to plan for.

This feed you could arrive friday and do a loupe through Mt Rogers Grayson Highlands area back to Scales. I plan on being there Friday night through Sunday.

I'm doing OK but the docs want more testing so its a stress test next week. The hiker feed/get together went quite well thanks to Fridge and Calm Spirits and was much appreciated by the hikers.
