Re: [at-l] VA in May
I spent 8 days in Shenandoah NP second week in May last year. Had rain for
the first six :( but still had a great time. We only met the fastest of the
thruhikers during that time. We found no problems finding places to pitch a
tent, the place was still pretty empty. Be careful where you pitch a tent,
the regulations are pretty strict and the park service checks, not afraid of
giving tickets. Don't forget to get a blackberry shake at Elkwallow Wayside!
Skyland Lodge if a terrific place to stay if you want to break up the
backpacking and take a shower and sleep in a real bed. We hit it after a 12
mile hike in the cold rain, heaven!
