Have the whole month of January off from work, been doing a little route planning. Looking to stay mostly in or near state forests on the way. Planning to start off in George Washington notional forest , heading through to Jefferson, then into Tennessee through Cherokee national and the Smokey mountains. Then shooting into the talledaga mountains in Alabama, finally working down towards aplachicola in Florida. Looking for any ideas on things to see, nice campgrounds and trails. Any gpx files would be awesome, look forward to any and all mentions, thanks!

I’ve only spent a few short trips backpacking in GSMNP. This sounds like fun trip! I’d be interested in following your progress. I live in the Charlotte, NC area. If things were able to line up I may be able to join for your TN-NC section.
