Hello all, my wife and I are not new to camping, but new to overlanding. We're in Northeast GA but are not opposed to traveling out. We have plenty of open days during the coming weekends and was curious if anyone was planning any trips in either GA, SC, AL or TN. We're new to the trails around here but I've got a few years of SxS riding in TN. Any reccomendations are a

I'm looking for a group that would be interested in doing the GA traverse trail.
I am interested. Do you have a time frame in mind? I started the Traverse a couple months ago with a friend and we both had mechanical issues and had to cut the trip short. We want to do it again hopefully with better luck this time.

We started at Burrells Ford, SC and travelled west. Had problems late day 2 and went into Hiawassee, GA to access the problem. We could have continued but decided to call it quits. ( live to fight another day) We are planning to go again in early spring. It was still a great trip. Keep in touch , maybe we can join up.

Sounds like a plan. Ever been to cape lookout Just seen your last name we could be.
I have been to the Outer Banks a couple of times but not to Cape Lookout. Actually a branch of my family moved from east Tennessee to north Alabama back in the 1930's or 40's. I'll have to ask some of the older folks if they know who and when.
