    Took a long weekend and backpacked 41.7 miles along the Appalachian Trail from Indian Grave Gap to US19E, employing the shuttle services of Mountain Harbour B&B.  It was my first time on the AT, and I enjoyed talking to thru-hikers and section hikers, getting acquainted with the water sources and shelters, and, of course, enjoying the views.  Photos will appear in the next post, Lord willing and the creek don’t rise…

    That looks like a lot of fun, Peter! Just love those open balds and woods down yonder ways.
