I read a story about them finding a deceased hiker near Beauty Spot. I guess it is possible this camera belonged to the hiker who passed away while hiking.

If you want to walk south to Neel gap then the first place north of the line is Deep Gap in NC. It is around 5.6 miles from Deep Gap in NC to the NC/GA Border.

From Dick's Creek to the NC border...

I hike in this area a lot and to me the hardest part of the blood mountain area is walking down the hill to Neel Gap. I've done Woody Gap to Neel Gap as a day hike and it was a longish day and my...

I'm not familiar with this section, but someone posted pictures of a lost dog on FB and said:

We met this guy just a little north of the Priest summit. He was extremely skinny and doesn't seem to...

Count me among the super feet dislikers. I tried them when I bought a pair of LaSportiva Wildcats. My feet were miserable while I tried them out. When I removed them and put the stock insoles back...

I cosign. The weight loss is just a bonus. The super clear mind, endless energy, and dearth of chronic health issues (achy joints, acid reflux, et al.). is the money shot of this way of eating. I...

For folks who want their jerky made from grass fed beef with no sugar I recommend these people:

We did a short day hike from Springer Mountain to Hightower gap last Sunday. I stopped at Stover Creek shelter to use the rest room and was menaced by someones off leash dog. You will be hard...

Kind of a testament to how screwed up our legal system has become when someone can do real jail time for being in possession of certain type of plants, but can get off with less than a slap on the...

At 130 calories per tablespoon you can't go wrong with coconut oil. You can put a couple of tablespoons of it in your coffee and it will keep you marching until well past lunch time!

co-sign. It is worse than asking strangers to help fund your hike since the money to fund those cards are confiscated from people who worked for it. I don't have a problem with folks who need help...

Nothing makes my blood pressure go up higher than having to pick up some disgusting person's cigarette butt and haul it out of the wilderness for them. I will never understand how folks can go out...

I did the Ga section last year via day hikes. I continued walking past the state line to Deep Gap where I had a car waiting. To get to deep gap by car you take 64 to FS road 71. It is a good well...

I'm unsure if this is what you are looking for, but once you get to the top of the stairs you can take a right and walk back down to the visitor center via a steepish hill. I don't remember what...

Same here. I tried Green Superfeet and they made both my feet hurt worse. Once they were removed the issues went away. Obviously they work for a lot of folks. Just throwing it out there so folks...

I cured my PF by switching from boots to minimalist style footwear. I discovered this by accident. I can walk pain free for miles upon miles with these type of shoes, as soon as I put on a pair of...

The one I bought in the store was a 2x X-large. I bought the biggest I could get with the idea of it being something I could throw over my other layers when I needed to be semi water resistant and...

In the spirit of the other thread about the Walmart down jacket...I picked up a "Ben Hogan" Wind/Rain shirt off the clearance rack this morning while looking for lamp oil in preparation for the...

Best price I can find for Raw Almonds around my local.

Also, if you find a loop you may still consider including the approach trail. Even though it would include a 9 mile back track at the end in my opinion it is MUCH safer parking a car at Amicolola...

Here is good place to start:

I think Almonds are some of the most calorie to weight ratio food. Coconut oil is great too, but unsure how easy it would be to carry enough to make it worth your while.

I did Dicks Creek to Deep Gap in NC (16ish miles) in around 8 hours this past August. It was a long day that began at 4:00am in the Atlanta Area. It would be a relatively leisurely 2 day event. ...

You may already know this, but it is worth mentioning again. The best way to ensure not getting cold is to make sure you have a reliable way to keep a set of clothes dry for when you stop walking. ...

I'm just a day hiker, but I've experienced the sharp, shooting pain described above too. I solved mine by switching to minimalist style trail runners. The weird thing is even today if I put on a...
