The forum will be geared towards those that are unfamiliar with hiking in the Smokies. They will answer questions on where to start, what to bring, and dealing with bears.
The adventurous Friends of the Smokies panel will give you the inside scoop on how to prepare, how to get there, and what to expect so you can have fun! Hiker, National Park volunteer, and author Danny Bernstein will facilitate the evening.
The event will be held from 7:00 to 8:15 p.m. on March 9, 2011 at the Asheville REI store. For more information and to register, please click here.

Hi Jeff - I am one of the panel members. I am really looking forward to this event and hoping for a big turnout!
Sweet! I wondered if you were, but I didn't see your name mentioned on any of the available online material.
I guess you'll be giving the perspective from someone who's hiked them all?
I think most of the panel folks are Smokies 900 completers from North Carolina. We are trying to increase the awareness of Friends of the Smokies that you can do this even if you don't live next door to the Park.
very cool idea. Wish I could be there. One of you should post this on GoSmokies as well (or I can)
