[at-l] I've got a week free....now which section to do??? HELP!!!!

[camojack at comcast.net (Jack)]

As at least one person has suggested, Shenadoah N.P. might be a good choice. 
Fairly easy terrain for "Leastun", and amenities available at intervals all 
along the way...

Well, Leastun has sure surprised me.  When I told her about that section 
with the ponies and such, her sisters got really upset.
They REALLY want to see those ponies, too.  However, Leastun doesn't want to 
do the same section twice--go figure.  At any rate, she has decided that she 
will wait to see the ponies and doing that section until we can all go. 
Isn't that just the sweetest thing?!
Now, if only I could get the older two to be that sweet!  LOL

So, I'm back to the drawing board on a section to do with just Leastun and 
me.  Any other suggestions?

(Oh, and as a side note, I want to make sure there are plenty of water spots 
along whatever section we do because it will be during high summer and I 
hate the heat!  LOL)

OK Ladies & Gents, I could use some serious help here.

My two eldest daughters have a week with my sister at summer camp, but 
Leastun is still a year too young to go.  Upon hearing that her sisters were 
going to get to go to camp & she wasn't, her bottom lip grew at an 
astonishing rate and sagged dangerously towards the floor.  Momma came to 
the rescue and told Leastun that seein' as how her sisters were gonna be 
gone to camp all week that she (thatuhd be me) and Leastun would spend a 
week on the trail.

So, now my problem is this..what would be the best section to do with a 7 
year old that might include a swimming hole and really kewl stuff to see 
along the way (wildlife & flora)?  I figure that I can spend a least 1 day 
travel to and from the trailhead from my home in SE TN.   That'd leave 5 
days to hike, but remember that with Leastun it won't be a marathon-more 
like a leisurely ramble. Perhaps, somewhere from GA to PA?

I welcome all suggestions.  Please let me know what you think.

Thanks!!!
