Georgia Overland v2.0 and The Georgia Traverse

For 2015, Georgia Overland has started fresh with a brand new website and the official launch of The Georgia Traverse and The Georgia Traverse .gpx file.  The Georgia Traverse is a collection of county, state and Forest Service roads that comprise a (mostly) off-pavement route across North Georgia.  It was designed to be traveled east to west, beginning at Burrells Ford Road along the Georgia / South Carolina border.  The Georgia Traverse visits North Carolina and Tennessee before ending at the Georgia / Alabama border.  The total mileage of all paved and unpaved sections is 390 miles, with 226 miles of unpaved road surfaces, 164 miles of pavement (40% of the paved miles found west of the Cohutta and Big Frog Wilderness Loop) and The Georgia Traverse includes over 500 waypoints.
