Just curious - Looking for a 2-3 night hike in the GA section. Any suggestions appreciated.

The older I get, the faster I hiked.
What kind of mileage are you looking to do? Out and back or end to end. GA can be tough to do a 2-3 day if you don't want to do any road walks. John's Mountain overlook to Dalton 256.7 - 283.1 after that, Dennis Mill trailhead to the terminus is the only other long section that has minimal road walking.

For an out and back, you could start at GA136, head NOBO and turn around at W Dug Gap Mountain Road and head SOBO back to GA136. Or cut that shorter if need be. I remember it being a fair amount of ridge walking. I almost ended up hypothermic when I did that chunk in pouring rain and 35 degrees outside.

Plenty of road crossings in Ga to do a 20-30 mile section end to end.
Also there is no road walking in GA
