well I was talking to cindy and steve earlier today.. (who live in atlanta, and they said no problems getting up there.. ?) and they have done it several times even without 4 x 4's.

you don't need a 4x4. you can do it in a car.

just not a car that you don't want vandalized or broken into.

so our best bet would be getting someone to haul us up there.

TownDawg, I was at Springer Mtn a few weeks ago and the FSR is in good condition. I always see lots of people driving cars on that road - not SUV's and trucks. I hiked the section from the SP to Woody Gap last September. It's a good 2.5 day hike. The 5 mile section before Justus Creek has no water, so be careful. There is a person in Suches that will shuttle you from Woody Gap to Springer for a small fee. Let me know if you want his phone#.

I guess you could say I'm new, although, you probably have seen me on the BackPacker Mag. forum as LostAgain. Wes Wisson lives in Suches and will shuttle hikers. He is very nice and is mentioned in the book "Walk in the Woods". Phone# (706)747-2671. I've used his services twice - he's top notch and always on time. Pick away ...
