    Went camping in the snow at Elk Park Falls with a blind date on first date, second date was bar hopping in Blowing Rock; third date was a hike on the AT on New Years and we ended up in a blizzard. Other groups camping in the area were being blown away while still in their tents due to the winds. Yes we were using tents as this was the early 70's.

    @ OneClick, I've hiked the east rim from Spence trailhead, up to Table Rock, across the Chimneys to Saddle Camp, and back in trail runners with no issues. I hiked Rock Jock yesterday in trail runners with no issues. I appreciate the light weight of trail runners. If you usually have success with them then you should be OK in the Gorge.

    Trying to get a hold on the weather. NWS lets you click on the map for a precise location and I trust they know what they're doing figuring in elevation. But a high of 58° up to 76° just 2 miles away/lower. That's legit? Dumb question from a dumb flat-lander hoosier.

    when I was there last week it stayed in the high 60s overnight on the LGT near the river, felt very humid too. When I camped up at the Chimneys it was 10 degrees cooler. Weather can vary a lot over short distances between the the foothills and what you’ll experience in the higher elevations of the blue ridge.

    Always being mindful of the toes and rocks.
    I hiked quite a few rugged trails in my Chacos with no serious issues.
    I too will something make and joy in it's making
