No hiker parking at Neel Gap, so Gina dropped me off and picked me up after the hike. Solo hike on the Appalachian Trail over Levelland Mountain to Turkeypen Mountain and back. Light bushwhack off trail to the peak of Levelland Mountain on the return. Best vista at Neel Gap, but partially overgrown vistas among the switchbacks on the east side of Levelland Mountain.
