Arrive Atlanta from Australia 10th, day to get food/fuel and mail a few things, then get to Springer.
If you hear a melodious aussie accent from a 50+ young man, it's probably me, so say g'day. Meeting you is one of the reasons I'm bushwalking the AT.

Yikes! My first post and time to commit!
Grandson calls me Old Brain, but I'm open to something else!
Convoluted Flip Flop....Amicalola State Park to Winding Stair Gap this fall, SNP north mid-late April 2017, flip back for southern portion to WSG, then Bartram and Foothills to my front door in Jocassee Gorges!
