Initially parked at Kelly Stand lot, and went in the 7N Trail, which is apparently an old dirt road. It was wet, high grass, with lots of mud and standing water. After ~600 yards, I was probably past the worst of it, but grew tired of it and bailed south to the paved road, walked back to the car and drove .6 miles to the LT/AT trail crossing and parking lot.
Routine hike from there. Saw probably 20 hikers, mostly overnighters and section hikers. |
