[at-l] Need hike planning advice

[Slyatpct@aol.com (Slyatpct@aol.com)]

How about doing Carvers Gap to 19E?  

It's one of the most scenic sections on the entire trail and has one of the 
best shelters (with a view) in Overmountain.  A little longer than you asked, 
it's about 6 miles to the shelter and then 10 to the road.  It's a bit of a 
climb the top of Hump Mountain, but all downhill from there, through a 
fabulous forest with lots of wild flowers.
