Arrive Thursday night and camp at Wolf Gap campground (the campground is located on Wolf Gap Rd as you enter the recreation area.)

Follow the Long Mountain trail to the Bucktail Cutoff Trail (pink). Turn right on the BC trail and camp near Halfmoon Lookout.
Approx miles: 11-14.

Saturday, we'll continue the Halfmoon Trail to the Mill Mountain Trail. Turn right, and head to Big Schloss, and back to the campground.
Approx miles for Sat: 10.

Jump in our cars and leave Sunday morning.

If this route is wrong, blame Pennsy. : )
