He is. I’ve got it at my shop getting a few upgrades. Fun read. Build thread in the 40 section on Ih8mud Baja 69 40 Instagram @89nolder

What teepees? But yeah. It’s remote as hell. I am headed back with my sole desire to camp at Loop Camp. That is likely the spookiest.

Awesome It’s a different trip every time for me

Awesome. I have 2 other writups here from Big Bend. Check them out too

Yeah. When you download the .gpx into GIAI you get the simplified map that is the second picture. Like you, I almost died when I saw the first one. That’s Google. Put it in your GPS of choice off the Georgia Overland file and it will be route and waypoints only with a few “possible...

I’m terrible about telling others of my trips. Never know when I’m leaving and never know when I’m stopping for the night. Finding a killer campsite at 6 pm when you are alone is useless. No way I’m stoping and hanging out alone long. Driving is one thing. Sitting is another. Sierra. Yeah we...

That section of the Parkway was outstanding. This late in the day I almost had it to myself. Unreal. I was able to make it to the base of Table Rock Mountain at dark and find a roadside campsite. Add another 6 hours to that last leg of the Traverse and you get to see a lot of beautiful...

So, it's 2 pm and my beautiful wife does not fly in until 11:15 on the next day. I can see a lot of beautiful country in 19 hours so I made a rough plan and set it into motion. I took off north from the end of the trail to Cashiers NC then took Highway 64 east to Rosman and then north on...

The final section of the Traverse takes you through a section of North Carolina on a beautiful paved stretch where you can gas up and fuel the body and grab some ice. It quickly gets back to gravel on a long nice section along a river with a lot of possible campsites. I got within one mile of...

I'll rat myself out here for a mistake I made so no one else makes the same mistake I made. Abe Gap Rd / FS 32c leg is closed. If you come in from the west like I did here is a well worn path around the gate that could be mistaken for a hazzard marker since the road is washed out. The east...

I ran into a closed road shortly after I started back into the loop. Tray Mountain Road and Corbin Creek Rd section Tray Mountain Rd 1 had a ROAD Closed sign. I ended up traveling north on Unicoi Turnpike north to Hiawassee HWY 76 and picked up the Traverse again at Barefoot Rd and Hwy 76...

I made it back to flat ground, fired up the store bought dry wood and the rains came. I badly needed to drain some Four Roses before I climbed up in the tent but the rain made it no fun to sit by my fire. Then I discovered that this worked. And the open hatch on the 100 series does not...

I dug out my recovery tools and started working on a plan. Once a plan formulated I realized that I was woefully under equipped for self recovery but I had to try. First shot at it took my rope about 3' forward and around 2 trees and back to the bumper of the truck to try to slide it uphill...

The entire time I had been on the Georgia Traverse (which was coming up on 24 hours), I had not seen a single user of any of the trails on the marked route. Sure, there were some people at the campgrounds scattered along the route and of course on the paved portions, but the large trains of...

The next morning I woke up after a superb sleep in the light rain with temperatures in the low 60's (Mississippi was a low of 78*) I was up with first light and decided to take a look at the real Lake Conasuaga campground. Entering camp I made a loop through the upper campground and it was...

At about 7:30 pm I made my way around Dalton Georgia and into the Cohutta Wilderness which would begin the meat of the journey. Immediately I hit a cool possible campsite along a fast running river. Knowing I had a least 90 minutes of daylight left I pushed forward deeper into the track. If...

Normally I load the Land Cruiser up with all the creature comforts that I have collected to make car camping/overlanding pleasant. Being solo, room inside would normally be a non-issue. The problem was, once I finished the trip, I would be picking up my wife at the Asheville airport and my kids...

The forum got hacked last week and my Georgia Traverse trip report got "Hoovered" up with the Russian hackers......so, let me see if I can put this fella back into action. A few weeks ago the stars lined up in a way that allowed me to take a few days off before picking up my kids at Summer Camp...

3 years gone. Bumping this for a friend to find.
