If anyone has hiked the GAP/C&O would you please get in touch with me at: uradolt4892@yahoo.com. Also, has anyone ever taken their dogs with them on this trail? If so, how did that go? Any suggestions? I need a pilgrimage and would like to hike these two starting in Pittsburgh and ending in D.C. I have the time so that isn't a problem. I would like to do this alone, with the exception of my dog. I want to camp along the way as well. Any and all suggestions are greatly appreciated.

I ran in to a few hikers while biking the GAP and C&O. Their biggest complaint was some of the campgrounds were to far apart for their abilities. The other would be lack of provisions along the route. Bring plenty of food for times you can't find it. Local people walk this with their dogs all the time. If your rugged you could make your own campsites when needed although I'm sure the park service would frown on it.
