Sure was a great campsite we ended up at though.<br /><br />I've never looked at satellite images of the Roan but it's unfortunate that there are so many social trails. This summer up in Washington, saw how they construct raised platforms ("turnpikes") through meadows and that seemed to help a lot though look like they take lots of time to build.Joan Westhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16396313531820725640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-437728056755394515.post-10527461753421445972016-10-20T19:25:21.173-06:002016-10-20T19:25:21.173-06:00I just came across your blog on Hammock Forums and...I just came across your blog on Hammock Forums and had to comment on this post as I had the EXACT same experience in the Roan Highlands! We had a group of 5 hangers and had to push beyond the Overmountain Sheter (the climb from Yellow Mountain Gap is no joke) for similar reasons. We finally came across the same campsite (Bradley Gap I believe) as you and were relieved that there was plenty of room for our five hammocks. It is amazing to look at satellite images of areas like Roan and Grayson Highlands and see how many "trails" exist in these open areas.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08035030277474157353noreply@blogger.com
