I saw a story in our local paper about someone who does this in Shenandoah
National Park. You could also arrange some slackpacking around several towns
and stay in nice B+B's -- though I don't think you'd get the inn-to-inn feel
that way. Damascus, Va., might be a good spot. There are several very nice
B+B's there, and it should be possible to spend a couple of days
slackpacking in that area, with shuttles to and from town each day.
