Cool Road Trip

Will be doing a little over 1100 miles round trip to Springer Mountain (Start of the AT south end) GA. later this week. Taking a few old friends for a long overdue walk in some hill country. 20 year old diesel gets the vote for the trip due to comfort, fuel economy, reliability over the rice burner pickup trucks the other guys drive

Man, I sure do like long road trips with these beasts. Can't wait for one this summer in which I'll add another 1500 to the clock.

Have a good one

Don

Jim,

If I had some extra time I would stop and have breakfast or whatever but this is a marathon trip. We are going to leave Fri when the other guys get off work, drive all night and plan to get to Dahlonega around 4 AM Sat. Get a couple hours rest then hit the trail. If possible we hope to get about 50 miles in between Sat-Tue, when we have to drive straight back so everyone can get back to work Wed morning. Since everyone has a "real" job except me, (read they work for other people) we are on a strict schedule. I will be going back to the N.Ga area later this summer for 7-10 days by myself to hike more of the area and would like to meet some of you Ga benz boys them
