This submission is part of my personal project, the Atlantic States Seaboard Tour where I attempted an FKT route in each state, on back-to-back days. There are 14 contiguous states that follow the Atlantic Coast Shoreline: Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida.

A full trip report will be posted on natureorbust.com within one week.

On 09/27 at 10:10am I climbed the Big Schloss, round trip, starting at Wolf Gap Campground (near campsite #9) and up the orange blazed Mill Mountain Trail. I didn't see anyone on the trail the entire time. The trail was wet from early morning rain and temperatures were in the mid-60s on this beautiful morning.
