Went up to the mountains in North GA with some folks to test out some new rigs and new mods. Had a great day and even found a new trail that brought is to the only Aviation Beacon Marker I've seen.

You wheel more than I do without even owning a Jeep, Trevor. I need to step up my game.

HAHAHAHA, you might be right! If I still had my JK, I probably couldn't afford to wheel at all though.

No way! You found a airway marker on the east coast? That's awesome!

 

[TwistedJK]

Miss it up there. Is that Matt's rig?

Yeah I had heard about it on Facebook and had to find out for myself!

Yes it is! Did awesome. Only a little fender flare rub on the front at full flex.

Trevor, where is this beacon? Do you have directions and/or coordinates? What kind of trail leads to it? Thanks!

I'll send you a PM. It's in the Dahlonega area. Will probably be making a trip up there again this month. The terrain is rocky and could be troublesome but there's a bypass for some of it coming up on entrance or more of a simple dirt road on the other entrance.

Can you send me the info on the trail too? I'm about an hr from dahlonega and would love to check it out. Thanks!

I'll be honest, I'm not going to post it blatantly on the internet. I don't want the area to get too trashed. It's at Camp Merrill. You can find it by searching for it or if you are able to join one of our runs up there I'll gladly take you there.

Oh and welcome to Wayalife! Might I suggest stopping by the Give Us a Wave section and introducing yourself?

I understand. I have been on a couple trails that came out near the ranger camp. But I don't recall seeing the marker. That is pretty cool!
