I see Ocoee River is about half way for this if I start at Amicalola.
Do I need a full updated guidebook or can I get recent updates some other way? I have not kept up with whiteblaze lately so have no clue what has changed since the 2006 Nat Geo. One thing Nat Geo shows that GAIA does not show is the trail right after crossing Little Ten River going to Deals Gap.
To be honest, I can not plan the route with only the SGT rock guidebook because almost all ques only say "intersect trail xyx" without clearly stating if you follow original trl or turn at intersection.
