FS 42. Leave your gear in the car. Walk up Springer .9 sign in take pictures, go back to car and get gear and walk to Maine.
Everything is in Walking Distance
dont leave your at 42 for the time length of a thru hike. and i only say this in case you don't know, FS stands for forestry service, its an improved gravel road. no need for 4x4 but i wouldn't do it in a bmw
Would be nice. We would like to do approch trail. And a short leg of the AT. Just have the weekend for now. More later. I would like to be in shape to do a tru in 2015. But work says i can do a weekend now. Just have to get a ride back to start point.

Nothing wrong with an out and back. You may be surprised at how much a 16 mile shuttle will cost.
My at guide book is on the way. I guess im just jumping the gun some. I just cant wait to get there. My be an out and back i dont know yet.

I ran a Honda civic all over the FS roads in GA including FS 42 a week after a hurricane, the roads were fine but there were a few trees that partially blocked the roads. Lot to be said for doing a key swap with someone.
Woody Gap just east of Suches, Georgia. Much easier to get to by car.
