Title: TRIP LAST WEEK
Post by: Krawler00 on January 07, 2009, 10:15:08 AM
figured I would share my trip last week. I was on lock down almost the entire time I was off during xmas break. Money woes to boot. I told my wife I was going camping a few days b4 new years eve. I told her I wanted to go new years and I had forgot we had a get together to go to for new years. I said, I don't care. I will leave after the party. So I left new years eve at 11:30pm and got to my spot at around 1:30. Lot's of cops out, 1 road block and still made good time. It was COLD! My temp gauge was 25 in the tent that night. Made for some good sleep weather though. Next mornin I packed up the stuff since I did not fully unpack all my goods. Doug came up to meet me at 10 am and we wheeled around some old fire break roads and such. Found a neat place with an old still and beautiful scenery! Another camp spot for sure! Doug and I wheeled for a few hours then set up at another spot for the night. Doug was not planning on staying but after the crown and vienna sausages he opted to stay. Cold front was coming thru and the fire was freakin horizontal from the wind! We must have had 30 pieces of wood on that fire and the wind was blowin the heat right out. Great time even for a short trip! I hope to get a camping expedition up soon for us all. Just a nice relaxing night or 2 to sit and BS for a few hours.

I will try to put something together for us soon. Maybe next month we could get a good weekend to go. Just hang out. I will start the planning. I have a few places in mind that will fit quite a few rigs! {letseat}

And we even found a few rocks too.  Creek crossings were awesome.  The old blown up moonshine stil was cool!

Near Hawk Mtn about 25 miles north of dahlonega.


That is an awesome area!  Me and three buddies hiked on Saturday from Three Forks to the Hawk Mountain shelter on the AT.  We slept through one heck of a thunderstorm in the shelter that night.  We ended our hike about .5 miles further down Hawk Mtn. at Hightower Gap.

Cool! Yeah, it is a nice area with not alot of people! {toast}

Post by: jeepinjon on January 12, 2009, 10:14:29 AM
We met one guy who stayed in the shelter with us Sat. night.  He was from Mississippi and had never really done any hiking.  His brother dropped him off that morning at Springer Mtn. and he said he was going to try to make it to Maine! :o  We all wished him well Sunday morning and headed out.  Now I really wonder if he'll ever make it.
Title: Re: TRIP LAST WEEK
Post by: Krawler00 on January 12, 2009, 10:50:46 AM
Never really done any hiking?! :o Not the best plan to go straight thru! Love to do a straight thru someday.

Post by: jeepinjon on January 12, 2009, 11:48:20 AM
We're trying to get the entire GA section under our belts by the end of the year.  It's a small goal, but with the way life is it's a reasonable one I think.  So far we've hiked from Amicalola (including the terrible 8.8 mile approach trail to Springer mountain) to Hightower Gap.  Only about 60 more miles to go!
Title: Re: TRIP LAST WEEK
Post by: Krawler00 on January 12, 2009, 01:03:08 PM
That's great! I plan on doing week long trips soon. Just start at springer and figure how many miles I want to hike thru the week then have my wife pick me up. 1 week at a time and then just start back where I left off. Can't wait!
