The Perfect End to the Georgia Traverse - Episode 3 

I can't wait to do the Georgia Traverse. This looks like SO much fun. (And so pretty!)

Only one comment? I hate that your research didn't show Tray mtn and Dicks creek being closed. They have been for years. I'm fortunate enough to be able to say I've done both before they were closed. You kept saying Charlie's Creek was the end, and I kept saying 'no it's not', but then you explained yourself. 😂 When I did what I could of the Traverse, I turned at EVERY corner (dirt). If there was a side trail, I found out what it led to. That's why it took me many weekends to get done what I did. ( SC to Ellijay) We almost have the same drone story. I was recording a buddy for his fishing channel and hit a tree. It recovered and looking at the screen, I saw it was extremely close to the water. So I hit the up lever. Right into the tree again. This time it went waist deep into very clear, very cold 35 degree water. Good thing I paid for the insurance. Thanks for the great story telling!

These are not "Trails", they are Forest Service Roads. We did the same route in Sept (Al to SC), it's a very nice scenic trip. I also want to suggest using Thread Lightly techniques in the future, hitting water crossings and mud holes on the roads at anything more then idle speeds causes erosion. This erosion is why those sections of the trail are now closed, I know that they currently looking into closing Charlies Creek.

Really nice brother. I've been waiting for this since you mentioned it at jeep invasion.

Great conclusion Matt. Professional videography/narration and what a great time with your boys, which as we know we only have limited time with our kids before they leave the nest. Last time we did Charlie's Creek the opposite direction and as far as I know its not a one-way trail, but I luckily found a pullout to avoid a jeep convoy coming from the west. Other wise there are some choke points in some areas for bi-directional traffic, but still lots of fun as you stated. As others mentioned, Helen is worth checking out and evenb though it seems a bit tourist trappy, the Bavarian downtown area has been there since I was a kid in the 80's and the town doesn't seem to have changed much. Octoberfest is coming up. I know you read all comments and usually respond, so no pressure to respond here. Just wanted to express my appreciation of your posting. It encourages others, including myself, to plan and get out there to experience adventures with our family while we are able. Thank you!

I am looking forward to camping on the GA Traverse the next time that I get out that way. We only had time to do Charlie's Creek this year and that was just a day drive after going up/down Beasley Knob.

Just getting home a getting a shower and then sitting on my couch with my boys and enjoying your video🤘🤘🤘🤘

Great video. how do you like pulling a trailer off road?

Well done. Great adventure it’s so cool you get to share this with your boys. I did the traverse last year and filmed it for my channel and watching your video is so cool to see many similar spots from a different perspective. It makes me want to go back and explore new sections. I would love to jump on one of your future Overlanding trips, possibly for a Collab video?

OnX Offroad would help you with all of that. Not sure if you had it for the trip. It shows land info and road closures from users.

great videos we where just at that closed road area at tray mtn today 3 17 24 yes it is was closed with several trees down across it that somebody has tried to cut. so not sure whats up with the road..

I love those CJ retro wheels. You have good taste! I have a set shipping out to me right now!

I love your video im going to do it for the first time Thanksgiving week

Great video series! Going to attempt this the first week of April.

What a great trip!! Thanks for sharing it with us.

I'm thinking of dipping my toe in the overland water with my boys next summer. I'm debating between the SCAR and the Traverse. I don't have a fancy setup. Just an old, bone stock z71 with a topper and some basic camping gear.

Loved it. That last water crossing was sooooo Epic!

So enjoyed it! Wish my Jeep could make the trail. Guess I will continue to live vicariously through your adventures. ❤️🤘🏼👊🏼✌🏼 Loved the water crossings! So glad the drone recovery programming did its job! 😂

Ohhh Matt the music crossing Charlie's Creek was spot on. So many memories of 2020 when we did it. Thank you. Really want to go back to the Traverse and maybe camp close to Charlie's.

Great video! Love the water crossings and almost losing the drone is always a good sign you are going for some epic shots!

Really enjoyed this series, we'll done. Helen GA is neat during the summer (river tubing), mountain roller coaster is neat and during the winter it's a cool Christmas village vibe. You should definitely revisit there if you can. Any updates on Emo jeep coming?

Great series....I look forward to do the GAT in the future.

My wife and I did the entire trip last year and had a blast, awesome video and thanks for bringing back some great memories!!!
