[at-l] Side trip suggestions for Year 2002 thru-hikers

[Charles Copeland" <charles@uswnet.com (Charles Copeland)]

A nice away-from-it-all area to camp (although a little rocky) is just past
the summit of Tray Mtn in Ga (headed North) - but before the Tray Mtn
shelter.  The trail passes a fire ring and them veers left (due north) and
down a hill.  If you turn right at the fire ring and walk past it into the
woods you will be on a very small trail (that appears to go all the way to
Helen).  Follow this trail (and duck under a lot of branches) for a few
hundred yards.  You will find an outcropping with a spectacular view of the
mountains.  Great campsite.

I think my all time favorite nonofficial campsites was at the Priest
Overlook.  We stopped at the shelter and loaded up with water and did the
additional half mile on hopes of catching a view and a sunset at the
overlook.  It was one of the best of both I've ever seen.  While the others
were busy setting up the tents among the beautiful rhododendrons just off
from the overlook, I just sat there in awe.

Highly recommended!!  4Stars!!!!
