I noticed my numbers between shelters and campsites don't always jive, still 
the overall distance is about 37 miles.  I suggest you get a map of the area 
(Moreland Gap to Sam's Gap) and the Data Book and plan accordingly to where 
(direction of travel) and when (time of day) you actually hit the trail.  

I don't know of any other section *in* TN so grand.  In any case, I don't 
believe you'll be disappointed.  If you need any more help ('cept carrying 
your pack) give a holler.
