AT Gateways Festival

Most people have heard of the Appalachian Trail Days Festival held in May in Damascus VA but there are many other festivals held in trail towns along the AT.  One of the first festivals held each year is FKA the Appalachian Trail Kick Off Festival which this year it was renamed to the AT Gateways Festival .  Usually held the first week in March (this year’s event was held March 1-3, 2024).

Stone Arch Marking Start of AT

The beginning or the end?

The Gateways Festival is held at Amicalola Falls State Park, home of the famous stone arch signifying the beginning for north bound hikers (NOBO) or the end of the hike for SOBO hikers.  For flip floppers like we plan to hopefully be, the stone arch would be our ending point.   In reality the stone arch is the beginning or end of the APPROACH trail.  The actual start of the AT is 7.8 miles from the stone arch at Springer Mountain.

In case you were wondering, it takes a good HOUR to drive that 7.8 miles to the trailhead that leads one mile south to get to the official starting point of the AT at Springer Mountain .  Around here we say, “You can’t get there from here” (said in a Southern twang).  So for all those who plan to NOBO from the gap, you get a bonus mile added to your total AT miles when you get to Katahdin because you gotta hike a mile to Springer to start your hike and then hike back that same mile.

The original start of the AT was Mount Oglethorpe Mountain about 13 miles away from the Stone Arch, but as with a lot of the AT it was rerouted and removed.  You can even start further south at Flagg Mountain, AL, which is the last mountain in Southern Appalachians.

AT Gateway Festival Events

Several vendors including several volunteer organizations set up booths at the beautiful Amicalola Falls Lodge on top of the Mountain.   One of the highlights was the Sawyer booth where they were giving away the coveted squeeze threaded plastic ring that lets you connect two Smartwater bottles or a CNOC to your squeeze so you can gravity feed (it’s how you filter creek water to make it drinkable for those that don’t understand this sentence).

So many other really cool ideas and information were presented by the vendor booths.  One of my favorites has been the Outdoor 76 booth where owners Cory and Rob discuss footwear and feet.  Rob and Cory have saved scores of thru-hikes that would have otherwise ended.  Their stores are located near the first 150 plus miles and the co-owners know all about feet and foot maladies.  They can save your hike when you start out NOBO and start to have feet issues.  While hiking is an all-body sport your feet are one of the most important parts.  If you have any troubles with your feet, see Rob or Cory and they will save your thru-hike too.

In addition to the vendor booths, a full day of presentations were held at the Lodge.  One of my favorite presentations was “hip hygiene” where GATC members gave a one-hour presentation covering all things thru-hiker hygiene (or lack thereof).  My favorite quote to sum up how to clean yourself with a small rag: “Pits and cracks front to back.”

This presentation went into the LNT (leave no trace in the woods like trash etc.) with a special emphasis on digging the perfect cathole (a hole you dig to bury your poop).  Especially entertaining was covering the statistics on poop covered in a 2022 post here on the Trek:

“ Pooping on the Appalachian Trail: Important Statistics from My Thru-Hike .”

2023 Thru Hiker Signatures

Famous people

There were many AT thru-hiker celebrities at the festival including Gene Espy , the second person to thru-hike the AT.

Meet and Greet with Gene Espy the second person to thru-hike the AT

We even ran into an AT celebrity with wings, the famous Miss Janet Trail Angel , who spends nine months of the year helping thru-hikers.

For this year’s festival, construction of the building at the lower part of Amicalola Falls was completed and open.  Across the street is small field where they have “tent city,” and about 25 tents ended up camping the night.  At night, several campfires made for warm, welcoming conversations with other festivalgoers.

With all the information presented, the discussions held with other festivalgoers, and the vendors sharing their knowledge, my head was too full by dusk, so we headed back to tent city to enjoy a meal and spend some time with others around the fire.

It’s Official

The main reason we went to this year’s Gateway Festival was to get our yellow hang tags.  The room was full at the time we registered and sat through the LNT seminar before getting our tags.  We snagged numbers around 600.   I am not sure if that is a high number for this time of year with the bubble not yet fully underway.

Statistics on how many of the 4-5,000 AT thru-hikers quit vary, but some say 25% quit by Neels Gap, home of the famous shoe tree where you ceremonially launch you hiking shoes into the tree as you quit.  This is about five days into the hike for NOBO hikers and it’s where some hikers realize the glorious social media posts are actually a lot of rain and pain.

Another 25% of aspiring AT thru-hikers leave the hike by Harpers Ferry (the unofficial midway point).  Half of the remaining aspiring thru-hikers end up leaving the trail, so only 25% of the thru aspiring hikers make it all the way to Katahdin.  Hoping we make it too.

Three years ago an abrupt life incident forced me back into the woods for some shinrin-yoku where I ran into a NOBO tramily at Shuckstack Fire Tower. That started an idea of a longer term forest bath on the AT. Knockerz and I plan to leave close to the summer solstice. Our plan is for a FipFllop, purposefully misspelled because we plan to start at mile 1450 taking a train from NYC, head to Katahdin and Fllop back to Pawling SOBO.

In the Moscow region there is a small cozy town Elektrostal. Its sights for the most part have no historical value due to the fact that the city has a relatively small history. But for a visiting tourist or city dweller, they will be of interest. There is something to see, where to go to have an exciting leisure time.

Today the population of the city is 158 thousand people. Until the beginning of the 20th century there were several small workers' settlements here. After the opening of the electrometallurgical and equipment factories, the place began to be called the natural boundary of Calm. The construction of the railway made this settlement accessible, and workers and families flocked here to earn money. In 1925, the station was named Elektrostal, and the rapid increase in population allowed the village to receive the status of a city.

The founder of the city is a prominent Russian industrialist Nikolai Vtorov. It was he who opened the plant here, creating, in fact, a city-forming enterprise that is still operating. In Soviet times, it was a closed facility, and it was not easy to get to work here.

Today Elektrostal is a promising industrial city with a great future and a heroic past. It bears the proud name "City of Military and Labor Glory".

You can learn about the sights of Elektrostal with descriptions and photos here. There are places for walking, outdoor activities and cultural development.

Those who come to the city by train are met by a monument to the metallurgist. It was installed in November 2017 for the 100th anniversary of the Elektrostal plant. The attraction is made in the style of constructivism. The monument quickly won the love of the townspeople, because this city is supported by ordinary workers.

Elektrost altsy and the founding father of the plant, Nikolai Vtorov, are honored. In 2002, a monument was opened in honor of him, which became a landmark of the city of Elektrostal. The bronze sculpture is installed on the site where once stood a monument to the leader of the world proletariat, V. I. Lenin. Times change, characters change. Today, the plant, founded a century ago, is the largest in Russia. Vtorov himself, whose fortune was estimated at 60 million rubles in gold, according to Forbes magazine, was the owner of the largest capital at the beginning of the century. He was a banker, an industrialist, an entrepreneur, a man of action.

The monument was erected byinitiative of the townspeople who wished to perpetuate the monument to the great man.

One of the popular places for spending weekends and evenings among citizens and guests of the city is the Park of Culture and Leisure. Here you can ride attractions for children and adults, play slot machines, rollerblade or bike. The park is divided into two zones. Fans of unhurried walks in the fresh air make a promenade on the Quiet Alley, and those who prefer outdoor activities flock to the Entertainment Alley. The park has a summer stage, where concerts and cafes are regularly held.

Until 1999, there was no central museum among the attractions of Elektrostal in the Moscow Region. The expositions were exhibited in schools, the house of culture, in factory museums. The city was closed, so there was no large influx of tourists and visitors. The appearance of the historical and art museum made it possible for residents and guests of the city to learn a lot of useful information about their native land, the formation of the production process, and the difficult years of the war. The exposition consists of paintings by local artists, historical artifacts, household items, documents, books and much more. The collection is updated regularly. It also hosts outdoor exhibitions, which are always popular with the townspeople.

One of the main attractions of Elektrostal, the photo of which is available to almost every resident or visitor, is the Main Alley. On herpassers-by like to stroll along shady paths, townspeople rest by the fountain after a hard shift at the plant. Flower beds are the decoration of the alley. In 2006, a flower festival was held here for the first time, which has become traditional. Each enterprise of the city and private individuals give residents a real composition of fresh flowers, which pleases with bright colors all summer long. A riot of colors, aromas and a flight of fantasy reigns here. Walking through the park, you can see Snow White with a basket, a bright well, a multi-tiered cake made from fresh flowers, hearts of lovers or a fabulous house. It is almost impossible not to take a photo against the background of these compositions.

There is a cultural center in the city. It hosts performances by local creative teams and visiting stars, performances and circus performances.

In 1971, the ice palace "Crystal" was opened in the city. Almost immediately, a children's and youth hockey team was organized, which gained sports fame. This is the home sports arena for the Elektrostal hockey team. Matches of different levels are held on the ice.

There are sections for children who go in for hockey or figure skating. Citizens come here with their families to cheer for their favorite team or go ice skating.

Elektrostal is a city with a heroic past. During the war years, more than 12 thousand citizens came to the recruiting station and went to the front to defend their homeland. Almost 4 thousand of them did not return from the battle. To these heroesdedicated to the memorial complex with the inextinguishable Eternal Flame, opened in 1968

But the electricians took part in the war in Afghanistan and Chechnya. By decision of the city authorities, their memory is also immortalized in the memorial complex.

It has become a good tradition for newlyweds to lay flowers at this monument.

In 1999, a museum and exhibition complex was opened in the city, where, in addition to the exhibition hall, there are numerous circles for children, classes for young people, and a creative workshop. Various festivals, exhibitions, city holidays and other events are held within the walls and on the territory of the complex, which attract many spectators.

Listing the sights of Elektrostal, it is impossible not to mention the temples. There are several of them in the city: the church of St. John of Kronstadt, St. Andrew's Church, the hospital church of St. Panteleimon. Another new church is being built. In appearance, the temples look ancient, monumental, in the Novgorod style. But they were all built at the end of the 20th century.

Let there be no ancient artifacts among the sights of Elektrostal. But on the other hand, all of them are connected with the history of the city, with everyday work and military exploits of ordinary residents.
