Yeah, the cell service is spotty at best. We must have been standing in the same spot Jon, I remember moving in increments of a few feet and getting a bar, then it drops if the wind blows ;D I could get a signal at the top of mason jar and other peaks, but limited at best. By the way... I AM SSSOOOOO READY FOR THIS FREAKIN TRIP! My wife actually wants to come along so if we can find a sitter for the 3 days, she will be coming up. She told me she had fun at the knob but did not like the up and down hills so much, she loved 93B though... go figure! I am still debating on coming up Thursday. Does anyone know when we can check in? Guess it depends on if the cabin is rented or not?
I've grown tired of this.

If you have to have cell service then pick up a $29 prepaid phone from https://www.appalachianwireless.com when you get to Harlan.

I still dont know if I will check it out yet, got a ways to go. I like the lack of cell phone service though but I did find "the spot" that always worked for me. I had 1 bar so I used speaker phone but had no issues talking or texting. Made 1 phone call every morning and evening and once you get up on the mountain you get service.

Ben, Danny said he has the cabin Thursday so I guess whenever. Bring the wife, Megan is coming with me and I am sure she would love to have another lady to chat with. We will be there Thursday but not sure if we will zip line, check out the other park or just have a lazy day and some mild trails.

Zip lines would be fun, but it will be a cheap trip for me. Maybe I can convince Heather to do the lines? But now I know it will be ok to come in Thursday, I will be there by noon or earlier. I want to ride, ride and ride some more!

Looking the same for us, might be a cheap trip. Headed to Daytona start of Oct so who knows.

Others are headed to Harlan this weekend... Richard posted the cabins and the store/gas station below them are pad locked and shut down. Not good

maybe they remember those guys and knew what was coming  {peek}

I guess we need to check on the status of the cabins. If they are out, camping is in or the other trail head side would be fine.
