I’ve hiked it in the winter. Parked at Neel’s Gap and went up and back. There is a neat little backpacking shop at the Gap….Walisi-Yi or something like that. There’s a CCC Shelter at the summit and a nice picnic spot halfway up – Flatrock Gap.
August is prime nite time brown fishing in Michigan. Best month of the year for local big (22″ and up) stream browns with an attitude.
Also, I picked up a Turkish SXS double in 28 gage for grouse. Great little gun that didn’t break the bank. Nicely made and engraved. Look on the DeHaunshotguns website. Weighs maybe 5 1/2 pounds. Now if I can keep my young Brittany from chasing deer, I’ll have October sacked too.
Have fun hiking. I sleep during the day in August.
