GA Traverse Ride - March 13-15 (1 Viewer)

[Bama4door]

We decided at our last club meeting we would add the GA Traverse for our campout/ride for March.

Plan is to peel out Friday around 10-11am and head to Dalton, GA area and run the Traverse West to East this time to eliminate going through ATL traffic. Should give us a good amount of time on the trail Friday to find a good campsite. Heading back home Sunday.

Roll call...

wish I could, I cant take days off until after tax season. I may run the GT in late April or May.

Bumping this...

We're going to start on the very western part of the Traverse and head East Friday. Should be a good time and weather is showing AM showers over the weekend. Hopefully it will be decent weather for us.

What time are we leaving?

We haven't decided yet, but I figured probably 12-1ish since we will be on the trail sooner running it West-East.

That’s the plan. There is a good chance that Friday afternoon and Saturday will be decent. We hope!

A group from Southern Georgia, including myself, are planning to do a similar run sometime in May. I would appreciate a "post ride" report if you're willing.
Thanks,

Few pics from this weekend...

@Gun Runner 5 Charles, we started at Little River Canyon outside of Fort Payne, AL and then made our way to the western start point of the GA Traverse. We camped just Southwest of Dalton, GA Friday night and then Saturday we pushed towards the Cohutta Wilderness. We did the big loop in the pic below, which crosses over into TN as well. We were on the trail from around 10am until 6pm (that loop is a lot bigger than it looks) and ended up camping on the southern part of the loop past Jacks River Campground. The loop was a perfect trip for a weekend. To do the whole GT, you definitely need 3-4 solid days IMO.
