This might be a lengthy post/question:
I work for a small Bible college in West Virginia where we also have an adventure camp. We will be offering a GAP year program this year and I have been tasked with planning and running the adventure portions. Part of this GAP year will be a multi-day hiking trip in the Spring. We plan to do multiple day hikes and overnight trips in WV so I want the multi-day hike to be in a different state. Because it is Spring when we will go I was thinking probably the AT in Georgia since it will be a little warmer.

- What would be a good 5-6 day hike to take a group (probably 5-6) on?
- I am hoping for a starting point and ending point that might connect two cities or two access points where someone would drop us and pick us up. Maybe 50-60 miles or so?..
- I would say my students could probably cover 10 miles a day...possibly more or less...not sure of abilities just yet.
- A section with water / shelters / privy would be great.
- I was thinking it would be nice to have a shelter as our daily goal and I know they are spaced out around what our daily mile limit would probably be as a group...but don't know how feasible this is
- I am in the military (I actually teach land navigation) and grew up hiking, camping, and being outside so I am confident in my abilities - just wanted to assure anyone reading that this won't be the blind leading the blind.
