    any solo camping issues?

    I have hiked 100s of miles of the pines with at least 10 overnights solo and never had any real problems..accept 1) During my Batona I camped at Lower Forge there was an entire family camped there blasting radios and making noise real late. Not what I wanted after a 25 plus mile hiking day...

    Favorite spot to take a 3-6 mile hike

    Batona Trail hike

    I think the best way to do the trail Is starting south at Bass River. Start early enough to pick up the permit to camp at lower forge at Batsto and also pick up some lunch from the hot dog vendor there.At this point you will also be able to refill your water containers.. By midday the next day...
