Advanced backpacking along the Sheltowee Trace

I'll be continuing my hike up the Sheltowee Trace Trail in Daniel BooneNF. Or wondering around Big South Fork some more. Or? I'll be arriving Friday night or Saturday morning to check out parking spots and do a little hiking, and will staying through Thanksgiving myself but figured most wouldn't be available for those days. But if you are reach out and I'll be happy to come up with other plans.
We'll either be backpacking north starting south of Cumberland Falls off 700, and heading north to just above Dog Slaughter Falls, about 15 miles. Day two I hope to hike 12 miles to Laurel River Lake campgrounds, and on day three we'll hike 14 miles to Sinking Creek State Natural Area. Or we can section hike it, returning to a campground each night. This is bear country, so come prepared. Bear canisters and spray if we backpack. About half of the hike follows beside the Cumberland River, so it's pretty flat for half of day two and most of day three. All three days show around 2000 feet of elevation, so it is still pretty hilly. I'll update more info over the next week.
