    Hey everyone. Looking for a good option for a trip this summer/late summer. We did the Georgia traverse last summer and had a great time. We went mid august and despite the hurricane that rolled through while we were on the trail, it was still pretty warm at night. I am considering running...

    Midland micromobile GMRS radios-is the 40 watt version worth it?

    Hey everyone. I am looking into getting one of the micomobile radios for my truck. Had a CB in the last rig, never used it once aside from listening to idiotic convos on my way to the office and testing it with my dad once. It seems as if people are phasing out the use of CB, and the range is...

    Suggestions for southeast trip?-Coming from Florida

    Hey everyone, looking for some suggestions of trips/routes that are near enough Florida to only need 1 (long) day to get to before starting the trails. We did half of the Georgia traverse last summer and loved it and would love to find something even more secluded. We ended up staying in...

    Looking for ideas for the next trip-Southeast Fall/winter time

    Hey Everyone. Really enjoyed the first trip we did through a good portion of the Georgia traverse a few weeks back. The biggest green light was the wife enjoying the trip and the 6 month old handling camping like a champ. We will probably go back and finish the portions of the Traverse that...

    Georgia traverse-recent/current road closures?

    I would love some feedback on planning my first real trip-Southeast US planning on escaping the summer heat

    Hey everyone, I've been on here reading for a long while now and finally thought I would start being a little active. As we are coming up to the typical summer vacation season, I think I want to plan a camping/overland trip. We usually always use my vacation time to head to Canada for a few...
