You're gett...Glad you made it, and congratulations. You're getting withing striking distance of Mardene and me if you need anything.<BR/><BR/>And it's good you've found shoes that work. Bad shoes can make life miserable, even when you're not making 30 miles a day.<BR/><BR/>You will still want to take the Religious Range seriously. It's a 3100 foot descent from The Priest to the Tye River, and 3000 feet back up to Three Ridges.<BR/><BR/>Crabtree Falls might be a good side trip if you're feeling energetic, but I can't recommend hiking down Rte 56 from there to rejoin the trail -- the road is narrow and twisty, with no shoulder in many places. You'd be better going back up through Crabtree Meadows and taking the AT over The Priest.<BR/><BR/>Have fun.<BR/><BR/>TomAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
