Pinhoti trail January 14-19, 2013
I'm headed to the Pinhoti Trail January 14th to 19th. I'm planning a SOBO hike 48 trail miles from Hwy 278 to Interstate 20.
This will be my 4th section hike of the Pinhoti. I'm considering extending the hike 13 miles and one more day to hike the new section that takes you to the Al-GA state line.
My next trip up will be the Benton-McKay which leads to the AT.
Anyone that wants to join me for some or all drop me a note. Comments and suggestions are welcome.

Hey Chili, I'm looking at doing 10 to 12 miles a day. Four or Five night's depending on conditions. Two of those nights will be at or near National forest campgrounds and provide a safe place to park. The sourthern start\end point is the Ranger station just north of I-20 on FS Road 500. That's where I intend to park and hike south from hwy 278 towards my vehicle. You are welcome to all or part of the hike. Thanks for the inquiry and have a great New Years!

My name is Stan Ritter or otherwise known as the Tnwareagle. I would like to come along bot I have to be back home by the 17th. Is there some place we could shuttle my car so that I could get out by then. I just moved to B'ham and have been looking for someone that is familiar with Pinhoti.

Hey TnWareagle. I remember you from a Sipsey hike in like 04 or 05. You are welcome to come along. I'm meeting another hiker there and we should be able to drop your vehicle at one of the crossings.
