We went up to the FS roads NW of Dahlonega yesterday and tried to find camping spots. There a few really nice ones on FS-141 that I'll be using in the future --- on a river and good hiking around.
The colors are still there too:
141 branches in two directions on the north side. Head west on a moist day and you're treated to some squirrelly mud/ruts and 4-lo action. Head east and you'll come out on Camp Merrill's helo pad. Yup. With a helo on it.
Boy, I was surprised; not doing that again....
