    Default Georgia- Miller Gap/Henry Gap, Shoal Creek, Little Bald Spur?

    Looking at some landing spots between shelters where we might pull up short or have a good day and go past our estimates.

    Miller Gap:
    NOBO from Woody, does Miller Gap have good tent sites along with it's water source? And if we push past Miller, are there any good camping sites past there say Henry Gap or Burnett Field Mountain? Anything right at Jarrard's Gap?

    Shoal Creek: If we pull up short of the Tray Mtn Shelter, are there any campsites around the Indian Grave Gap/Shoal Creek area? Or are we better off just getting water there and climbing the ridge just past?

    Little Bald Spur: Just past Dicks Creek Gap there are water source called Little Bald Spur and then Water 74. Do either of these areas have tent friendly flat areas?

    You will generally find flat areas on top of hills, and in gaps. Theres many others, but you can 95% count on those spots when lights fading. If something else doesn't come along in the meantime. Not always great spots but flat enough to sleep. The trail always provides.

    You should have a guide that shows you common camping areas as well.
