Not the whole thing. Just the Georgia part. Got lost (sort-of).
I got my BFA at Western Carolina, which is right by the GA border (if we wanted to go to “town” we road-tripped to Atlanta). I’ve hiked down into Georgia on the trail, and nearly to VA on the NC segment.
Hot Springs was a nice, slightly wacky respite back then. It’s getting a little hippie-gentrified now.
How does that work, exactly? It's a trail/path that runs generally south and north. Wake up in the morning and headed to Maine? Keep the sun on your right shoulder all morning long.
Going to Georgia? Wake up in the morning and keep the sun on your left shoulder.
I don't get it. Same thing with the Chisholm around here. Indians beat a footpath from Austin to Oklahoma that a blind man couldn't miss.
Folks get lost every year. ;)
