I heard cashes valley got closed. At least I got to do it twice. We were on the traverse this past weekend, being led by some friends. We went East out of Cherry log We must’ve skipped the mountain top. We went through aska but they bypassed the mountain trail and led us through dial Georgia on easy roads, then we picked up the traverse just before coopers creek. I think it was Pine Mountain and wilscot Mountain we skipped. I’m gonna start editing my video this week, I’ll try to compare scenery. We actually went to the Toccoa swinging bridge, it wasn’t a traverse trip we just used it to get there. Watch out for yellow jackets there, they tore me up!!! Seeing your drone shots I want to go back after the leaves fall and hit that mountain looked great. I just subscribed, can’t wait for part 3

So cashes valley. As a eyewitness. I know who is going off the trail and damaging it. It is the locals who doesn’t respect it. We had a couple pull up on us when we were up there, and they were riding around and drinking.

Got to be careful on Cashes Valley, all of the land is owned especially the land on the cemetary. The guys has ran up on people and threatening them.
Would you share the coordinates to that last camp spot

To be honest I couldn’t tell you which one it is, it was a pretty inexpensive one, it does have MagSafe though. It’s probably the thinnest least expensive Otterbox they make. 🤷♂️
