Georgia Traverse Trail

In this video Camper and I head out to do the Georgia Traverse Trail that creeps along the northern part of the state of Georgia. Well, we had some adventure. All I can say is life happens and adventure unfolds. I will also include the GPS coordinates for some places to free camp along the route going East to West. There was no cell service in any of the free camp spots.

That dude, lol. "You might have hit it..." Yeah okay bud 😂

[@chrismeyers5963]

As a Georgia native, I can say we have some really awesome places here, also some creepy places as well haha

[@mitchwells69]

My stomping grounds. I finally saw a bear this fall after 17 years. I agree about the dog food.

[@blueduster74]

The lights work very well.

[@benderbender9846]

You stayed at one of my favorite sites to camp at

[@benjaminkatie2916]

Man! I love the bigger channels too, but this was a great video. You have great conversation and great humor! A hidden gem in my opinion. Thanks for the video

[@rambling4x4adventures92]

Very kind of you. I’ll be back soon. Have a trip planned for March 11th. We bought a Amish farm and I have been busy working and filming there. Check it out if you want. Rambling Farms Homestead.

[@daviddawkins2272]

i like your roof tent set up.

[@SULLYtheSojourner]

Great video!

[@TheFatbutterpancake]

So…..good stuff. Carry on!!

[@kevintrevors3921]

Great video and info. Curious where you were at the large rocks in the stream.

[@akb-661]

Good vid.. in west NC so this isn’t far..about to head west next week for 2weeks of fun.

[@blueduster74]

At least he’s a dog you picked? We’ve been dog sitting a Tree Walking Coonhound the last six months because our daughter got divorced. She’s finally getting him next weekend.

[@rand0mGT]

3am and your dog is going nuts?! Yeah that sounds like some paranormal stuff going on

[@SULLYtheSojourner]

Moral to 1st night issues: Feed dogs ONLY dog food!

[@Whittmike2011]

40LBS?? I run mine at 32 and I've been told that's too high!

[@charlesruelas3962]

Just watched your video, like your pup. This is the second video I have watched about this trail. I just got a 2022 4Runner, my second and plan on doing something like this, not sure direction. I am somewhat new to Georgia, in Atlanta. May I ask where you got your map? I found one on a trail website. Just curious how you got and downloaded, what app you used if any? Great video, a lot of work went into it I can tell. Thanks

[@rambling4x4adventures92]

Hey, google Georgia traverse trail and goto Georgia overland. Scroll down and there is a link for download. Download the gpx file. I use a iPad mini 6 with Gaia maps. Go online on your computer and sign up. Upload the map (gpx) file to Gaia on your computer. Then downlpad Gaia on your phone or iPad and sign into your account that you set up on your computer. Pull up the map and see where the closest location is to jump on the trail. You won’t need and 4 wheel drive on this road. I got on at Dalton and went east. Some roads will be closed and you’ll have to route around. Have fun and thanks for watching. I’m hoping to get out more this fall.

When traveling with a dog, bland is best. Keep it to his regular kibble. Worst thing you can do is give him something different and you get the result you got unfortunately.

[@ramblingfarmshomestead9045]

Haha, I learned the hard way!! His diet now is very strict and he has been fine ever since.

[@lumpsumshitzu]

The closed section you missed is actually the most fun and technical section, not like the rest of the trail. Highly suggest returning and finishing

[@rambling4x4adventures92]

Figures

[@blueduster74]

Any idea where we find the closure info in advance? Forrest service?

[@rand0mGT]

Putting aside paranormal and cryptids, there are some crazy demented people out there. Careful traveling at night. I’d say you got balls doing what you do

[@rambling4x4adventures92]

Lol, turned out to be spicy sausage. Once we got in the Jeep to leave he had a butt explosion all over the rear seat. After that he was fine but I was already packed up so we hit the trail for about 2 1/2 hrs then took a nap. Made for some good night filming. I have to agree with you about being out there alone. There is definitely an uneasy feeling going on and I do sleep with my 9mm. Thanks for watching. I plan to start up filming again soon.

[@straydogoutdoors7050]

Hey man. I'd like to get in contact with you to ask some questions about this trail

[@ramblingfarmshomestead9045]

It’s been a minute since I was on the trail, but ask away.

[@straydogoutdoors7050]

@@ramblingfarmshomestead9045 well I'm trying to find out about road closures mostly. I'd like to run the entire route but I've come to understand that a lot of the route is closed most of the time. Would you happen to know who I can contact for this information?

[@ramblingfarmshomestead9045]

Man I don’t. I ran the trail and used my iPad mini with Gaia GPS running. If the trail was closed I could easily see a way around. Only one spot I had to entirely backtrack. But I have no idea when they decide to close a trail or open it. It could be totally different now. However most of what I encountered that was closed was towards the eastern side of the trail the western half was entirely open and I did run it west to east. Hope that helps.
