Im starting at cades cove and going up to the AT and down eagle creek. Then I will be doing the lakeshore trail and then back up over to the AT to get picked up at elkmont. should take about 6 days. who wants to come? would i be safe by myself in that area where there are not a lot of hikers?

Only dangers we saw were some big rattlers sunning themselves on the switchbacks but they gave us very fair warning.
