• Norther or Southern?

Hi, I was wondering if the southern section of the trail is in better condition in general than the northern?
I was going in a few weeks to hike from the gorge north, but I'm having trouble finding a map of the northern section and i saw the recent post about the northern areas being a mess.
With available maps maybe it would make more sense to hike from the gorge south? Is it better maintained as well?
thanks guys

Me and a friend will be doing a threw MTB ride on the Sheltowee trace from sept 23rd to 30th. I am looking for a resupply place about halfway threw that would be close to the trail any suggestions? I am hoping for a post office so I can mail back to myself some clothes and supplies we didnt use.
This trip has taken two years to put together and I am really looking forward to this. The ST has been awesome to hike and bike but I have never donw the whole thing before. We are packing super light and are going to try and cover 40 to 50 miles a day. Both me and my friend are hammock people this should really put them to the test.

Hey Veela, does Sheltowee Outfitters still rent duckies??? And will there be enough water to run below the falls on the weekend of our (ST) conference? That would be a good weekend for my son to swim!

Hello all,
I'm walking the trail from the Stoney Cove to US460 above Frenchburg in a couple of weeks. Can anyone tell me how much of this section is road walk? I'm really not interested in walking the road so I'll need to arrange a pickup at trails end....
Thanks!

• Logging on Sheltowee
Author: Traildust
Posted: Wed Aug 11, 2010 5:56 pm (GMT -5)
Be advised, the FS has contract loggers working on or near the Sheltowee Trace above Morehead between Rt 32 and I-64. They are working on clearing storm damage and mostly on the Sheltowee Trace where it goes down a gravel road. They will put the trail back if they damage it and we will be out to check and make sure.
