Drive 540 mi (9 hours) to Amicalola Falls State Park. Stay at lodge. Maybe go ahead and see the falls that night.
SAT Aug 3- Deep Gap Primitive Campground to Plum Orchard Shelter- 11.5 mi
Have breakfast either that we brought or maybe in the restaurant. Shuttle 100 miles (2 hours) to Deep Gap trailhead by AT shuttle driver? Uber? Limo? Hitch-hike? Who knows?
Join the AT, head South. We will be starting at our highest elevation, and heading 11.5 miles while dropping 1500 ft in elevation. We will stay at Plum Orchard Gap Shelter.
MON Aug 5- Deep Gap Shelter to Blue Mountain Shelter- 15.8 mi
Longest day of the trip, and with some big ups and downs.
WED Aug 7- Whitley Gap Shelter to Woods Hole Shelter- 11.7 mi
This is our resupply day. Mountain Crossings Store is a full hiker shop and hostel with whatever we might need, including gear, meals, hot food, whatever. Maybe we can get a shower? It's at mile 7.7 of our 11.7 day. The last part of the day is a very steep and long climb back up to nearly 4500 ft.
SAT Aug 9- Stover Creek Shelter to Amicalola Falls- 10.3 mi
Back to Amicalola Falls State Park via the AT Approach Trail to our room, then on to the nearest IHOP?
