Trip Report/Photos

Nobody from GO signed up for the hike , so, I changed the hike from a 12.2 mile hike to a 7.2 mile hike on the Benton MacKaye Trail. I hike with a friend from Atlanta. The revised hike started at Wilscot Gap and ended at Shallowford Bridge on the Toccoa River. This spot on the Toccoa River is a tubing destination.
