    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
