    • here's some odd advice from a new post.

      "Visit a pristine nature conservation park
      The A.T. was created to allow city dwellers to explore the wilderness and see nature in an unpolluted and well preserved form. That is why it passes through many national and state owned parks. Vogel State Park is a perfect example of a magnificent pristine environment.
      Hikers can branch at this park, maintained by very friendly folks, take a shower, and sit down, eat, drink and relax right in front of the scenic Lake Trahlyta, at the base of the Blood Mountains in Georgia. If you have sufficient energy to have more fun, you can visit the museum, go fishing, hike in the park and play on their miniature golf course."

      the AT does not go thru vogel. it is possible to take a couple blue blazed trails (i've never done it) approx 5 miles from vogel to the AT south of blood, but i don't know of any thru hiker who has ever done that. i don't even think it's even in the books as an option. no reason to do unless ya like to play putt putt.

      whoever this is has a lot of georgia references; i suspect the author has sectioned georgia or parts of it. may be a brit based on the spelling of honour.

    • this is cool...someone moved damascus to the north georgia mountains when i wasn't lookin:

      1. Hiker Hostel

      Hikers, cyclists, mountain bikers and eco-tourists who want to get away to the Northern Mountains of Georgia find Hiker Hostel a suitable accommodation option. It is located in Damascus, Virginia and the Appalachian Trail follows a sidewalk just in front of the hostel. The hostel has private rooms, container cabins and bunks that offer clean, comfortable and affordable temporary accommodation. You can access local shops and restaurants easily since they are a walk distance away from the hostel.

      he stopped talking about the a.t. and began writing religous books. i haven't looked at his blog in a couple of years, but when i searched for it a few minutes ago to provide the link, i was suprised to see that he is writing a book about his first thru hike and it may be out next year.

      here's an update; 6 years later:

      Note: This project has been placed on the back burner for now. The Bible research I’m working on is so much more important (and interesting) so I’m finding it hard to concentrate on writing a secular-oriented book, but I will try to devote some time to completing this title in 2021 or 2022. It won’t be the typical “thru-hiker journal” kind of book (“Woke up, ate some gorp, hiked five miles, stopped for lunch, ate some gorp, hiked five more miles, reached the shelter, ate some gorp for supper, went to sleep. Next day, got up, ate some gorp, hiked five miles,” … and so on), since there are already way too many of those kinds of A.T. books on the market. And for any of you who hiked with me in 1985, don’t worry, I won’t be using real names or Trail names in the book (except possibly in a couple of cases where long-term friendships resulted and they have given unconditional permission), mainly to avoid the hassle of getting permissions and other legal releases. If, on the other hand, you want to be mentioned, let me know, but be forewarned: Fame, even if only being nothing more than a big fish in a very small pond, isn’t all it’s cracked up to be!–Dan

      I've not even tried to reach it for several years. Figure he quit paying for even the "Hold this web site". Not surprised. Lives change.
