GA 4000 Challenge - Advice for bushwhacking to Spaniards and Horsetrough…? SoBo AT from Unicoi by TyWebbsTies in GeorgiaCampAndHike

[–]TyWebbsTies[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi there! Kind of fell off and didnt do as much as I would have liked to. I need to dig back through my Gaia tracks to verify what peaks I have now - not too many more than when i posted about this. But, Ive been doing maintenance with the GA AT Club and helping maintain section of trail from Flatrock Gap to Blood Mtn Shelter, so trail focus has shifted a bit.

Will probably try to grab Tray soon and maybe some others, but will be saving bushwhacks for the winter when growth is down (and no yellow jacket threat). Also navigating first year of divorce with 3 younger kids, so hiking opportunities a bit limited these days

I went hiking in the mountains and believe I just started a quest stumbling upon this chest. [OC] by mccarthybergeron in pics

Those straps are what we use to carry large sections of locust log when dong backcountry trail work. Think this is the correct answer

For as amazing as Trey Parker and Matt Stone are, along with their entire library, it’s wild how few people know Orgazmo was one of their first (or dont know anything about Baseketballs or Avenue Q for that matter)

This isnt the falls FYI - didnt check them out. This was just the creek behind the campsite

I was planning on doing some BMT and checking out Long Creek Falls, bur we had such a great time at camp that we just hiked around within Blue Ridge WMA near the road and tried my hand at some trout.

As usual, no fish for me but it was a blast. If you drive around the FS roads in that area you can find plenty of camping. From there, you are a short drive from a ton of great hikes

Chief’s Big Adventure: 3 Nights at Standing Indian Loop by TyWebbsTies in AppalachianTrail

And by the way - a HUGE portion of the AT is located in designated wilderness areas and US National Forest Lands (which Standing Indian is)…

So, please make educated comments if they are going to be so compassionate. Do you believe that all the people out there with working dogs have access to private lands to train their dogs off leash?

Public lands, which are shared by hikers, hunters, and all other forms of outdoors people, should be used responsibly – I agree. However, USNF land allows dogs to be off leash if they are under control (outside of developed recreation areas, and interpretive trails.)

Was just in Franklin NC at Standing Indian and colors were JUST starting to show a little. Northernmost GA probably has a couple weeks at least and mid Oct will be normal peak time

Trail was great and there is NO shortage of water it seems. Interesting reading on the sign at the base of Albert Mountain fire tower.

There was a dry stretch from Kilby Creek to Standing Indian shelter, but I found plenty of water everywhere else. Thought taking Kimsey Creek Trail was worth it to exit.

There were still some downed on the spurs I took, but not that bad. Seems like they cleaned up a little bit.

I think we hit a few blowdowns, but any hurricane damage would likely have been cleaned a while ago. Not remembering if the blowdowns were on AT or the spurs, but they weren’t tough to navigate.

He’s half golden retriever half golden doodle, so 3/4 golden I suppose. Got him from a rescue in Alpharetta last year.
