Unofficial HikaNation Campsites List

Hiking along the Appalachian Trail was "at your own pace", so HikaNation groups were spread out along the A.T., with various campsites every night. The ones listed at the top of the page are William Ewart's campsites. Photos will try to match the dates of occurence so the photos will not always be William's whereabouts.

Mice were probably the biggest drawback to spending a night in one of the lean-to's;
no matter how you hung your food up, they could find a way to jump onto it, or shimmy
down a cord to it ( and I won't even mention them running over you through-out the night ).

The musical locals below visited another HikaNation group, but I am not sure where;
I think it occured tonight, but it was definitely not at Harpers Creek Lean-to.
