I used a frame pack in the Boy Scouts that my mother bought for me. ( I never appreciated her enough) I used it alot as the troop camped twice a month. It really came in handy at Philmont. Maybe find a used pack from a former scout. Most hikers on the AT have a bell jingling on the pack for bears. Bears will be concentrating on a log or berry patch and are upset at a surprise hiker. Someone is behind a door jumps out and scares you. They are laughing, are you happy?

Crowder Mtn is a beautiful place. I hope you take advantage of what is there.

I prefer external frame frame packs as well. They're just a lot handier for packing and you don't need to go down the rabbit hole of super expensive compressed gear.
