We are going to be in Hiawassee and was thinking about doing the Charles Creek portion of the Georgia Traverse. Anyone have a report of trail conditions/ water levels. We’re a leveled JK with no snorkel.

We did the stretch from Cherry Log to Skeenah Gap Road today. Trail was in good shape; not as wet as I expected. Charles Creek tomorrow.
Hey KR, sorry I couldn't reply sooner. Just got back from central Mexico, air travel not driving :(, You won't have any problems on Charlie's Creek road anytime of the year regardless of rain. Seems like a great day for a trip to the mountains this time of year - I'm envious! Enjoy!!!
Let us/me know how the wheelin went when you have a chance.

Thanks Eric! The Charles Creek stretch was beautiful! Weather was perfect! Leaves probably peaked on most of the trail last week but the stretch going down into Dillard on Betty’s Creek Rd was peaking now. The rock climb up on the west end of Charles Creek Rd was fun (we don’t have rocks in South Georgia....or elevation change for that matter. lol). The first small creek crossing was up to the bottom of the doors but the river crossing was no issue. Glad we beat this weeks rain though.
Thanks to the Georgia Overland crew for mapping the Traverse on Gaia. We’re seeing much more of the North Georgia mountains thanks to that resource!

There are several beautiful spots that appear to be used often. Most are marked on the Gaia download if you have it.

The download for The Georgia Traverse is at www.georgiaoverland.com. There’s one file for the tracks and one for the waypoints
Kenneth, so glad you had a good time.

Hey Ich, Just let me know when the urge strikes ya. I typically only go on weekdays (I love retirement~!!) mostly due to traffic out of & back into the city. I'm sure you know what I mean... But I'm game if you wanna just go wheeling or if you want to do an overnighter.
I'll be around the area until late January then we're headed to central Mexico for a few months. Will be switching from my already rigged up 02 Ranger w/ RTT to my wife's 99 Explorer - mostly for gear security. Not really expecting to find much if any "camping" available down there so we'll be staying in small villages, small Mexican owned B&Bs, motels, or hotels. Obviously we're avoiding all the "Americanized Resort" spots. Why go to Mexico to hang out with US Citizens??? I can do that here.
We've got several friends (Mexican Nationals) who have befriended us over the past 15 years of our travels into and through the State of Michoacan. So we almost always have a place to crash, park, recreate and chill.
