My husband and I are experienced day hikers, but now we're looking to get away for a few days and simply backpack, no campgrounds, no modern effects. We live in Ohio and have about a week of vacation to burn. We have time to drive as far as South Carolina, New England, etc. We are looking to do this at the beginning of May. I've looked at Linville Gorge in North Carolina, Mt. Marshall also in North Carolina, and a couple places in Virginia. Thanks a lot for any advice!!!
