I remember seeing one little spot that could have been nice for a picnic but not much.
Yea there wasn’t anything that jumped out as a good spot. We were hoping there would be some reward at the top but all the interesting meadows were heavily marked ‘no trespassing ‘
I might try skeenah road this weekend. I’ll report back if it’s good.
If you're looking for company, I'd be happy to go back up again.
How was it on skeenah road? It’s actually our Mother’s Day outing funny enough so I’ll have to rain check on official meet up.
Sorry, I just meant up to the mountains. I don't think I've been on Skeenah.
If you've got a lady who's happy to go wheeling for mother's day, you've got a keeper! I hope you guys have a great time!
Sorry if I'm hijacking, but I'm looking for some local knowledge. I'm planning to do the GA traverse from Eaton to around mountain city with the family in June. Are there any good spots for camping along creeks you'd recommend (preferably not in a campground). Also any more technical roads other than Trey mnt?

There's a really great spot off the Charlie's Creek trail. It'd be first come/first serve kinda thing. The trail isn't difficult but you get a chance to stretch the truck's legs a little. Any stock LC would be fine.
We just did Flatland(er?) Road this weekend. It was the most technical I've done in GA yet but there's also Beasley Knob, which I've heard is fun.

Do you have the gps file for the Traverse? It’s got just about every possible campsite marked.
Ben I’d be interested in the gps data and campsites as well if you’re sharing please.
yeah I downloaded the GPS file. I was curious if there were any other spots. I'm hoping to jump on in Eaton and make it to somewhere around Jack's river falls to camp , then try to make it over to Charlie's Creek the last night before heading up to Boone. I'm hoping that's doable in 2 days.
I was wondering about the "Frog mountain loop" portion of the traverse. Does anyone know if the southern route, or northern route up into TN is better in anyway?

It's mother's Day weekend, you're an ANIMAL!
I'd say he's winning!
If anyone is free of mother's day activities, and wants to go try some trails this weekend, hit me up.

@MongooseGA whats your stance on camping?? We need to plan a trip with some wheelin’ and campin.
I identify as camping-positive, so that's good. The next question is what kind of camping? I can do tent, in-truck, cabin, and camper! Preference for logistics is tent or truck.
Love it! im pro tent or hammock. We usually run solo, but i think it'd be fun to link up with a few other self contained individuals to get outside and enjoy some nature
It's a date. I'll generally have my dog with me but am otherwise solo in my truck. He's friendly and will be more concerned with exploring than hanging out with people anyway.
As of today we're looking at next Friday to be somewhere that requires off roading to get to then secluded stream to sleep next too. Hike would be awesome if we can work that in then settle into camp.
