All I know is that the Alabama portion of the Pinhoti Trail sucks. Don't bother going there. There's no water and resupply sucks. Locals look at hikers as homeless hobo's. You cant get a ride and if you do, you don't know where you may end up. At night you can hear banjo music. Noises that sound like pigs squealing. Stick to the AT. It's safer. Work with the folks at Baxter, the AMC and the ATC and try to compromise. The AT is the way to go. The Pinhoti is a lost cause. Don't bother.
Either I hiked the best part of the Alabama Pinhoti, or you are just trying to keep the crowds away.
I am human and I need to be loved - just like everybody else does
