Anyone do any Backpacking? looking for advice

No, all my AT hikes were to the North. Many great reviews of the area, but the quality of the trail seems very dependant of the locals who take care of it, markers, shelters, access and parking, etc.

I've hunted the area (Highlands and Cherokee Natl. Forest) for deer and turkey, but never hit any AT sections in that area.

What sections of the AT have you done?

Any PC hikers here? WA and OR so far, planning to get back and tackle some desert sections in 2011 and
2012.

I haven't done any sections, however I plan on starting the trail from the south. I'm planning to hike either the very start in Georgia, or try the Tennessee area or the highlands.
