    We stayed out there a couple years ago for a monthMy husband and daughter were coming off the mountain and it started pouring and they were only going about 10 miles an hour something made them slip and they started rolling down mountain thank God the trees caught them before they rolled too far it was 4 days before the police or anyone showed up

    Nimblewill Gap road is now full of homeless people and migrants living in the camping areas, and it’s getting worse. I just drove through today and it’s pathetic!!

    There was a murder on that road back in Sept. 1999. I watched a Dateline NBC episode on TV ("Deadly Twist" Season 23, Episode 30), streaming on the Peacock Channel. -- A man named Todd Winkler killed his wife, and tried to make it look like an accident. He ran their truck off of White Oak Gap Road, and it burned. It wasn't discovered to be a murder, until he killed another wife in California, years later, and they started investigating.

    I love Helton Creek Falls! Been there several times. I was just there back in December 2022, and came in the other side where you cross the two creeks. Such a pretty drive!

    I commend you for not driving on roads when they are real wet. I watched a video of a group of Jeeps that ran the Nimblewill Gap road in a downpour. The whole road was covered in water. Really ticked me off.

    • @MIAPhilly

      Why did that aggravate you?

    • @mikehataway4126
      @mikehataway4126 Рік тому

      Because it tears the roads up. Creates big mud holes. There are places in the Ga mountains where you can’t drive without 4wheel drive anymore.

    @mikehataway4126 2 роки тому

    The Forest Service basically doesn’t do any road maintenance anymore. They don’t have the money in their budget and with this new four wheeling craze you’re going to see more gated roads.

  • @DSracer13
    @DSracer13 2 роки тому

    We, the property owners in Cashes Valley spend thousands of dollars each year repairing and maintaining the road because the bad actors in the 4 wheel drive community spins up and destroys the road. Please tread lightly and ask those you see there to do the same. We've love assistance maintaining the road. We do the big work every August. Thank you.

    I live in Wiltshire, South-West of England, relatively close to the area where the 101st spent many months training before going into combat in occupied France. It's interesting to see the area where they started training - and how far from home they travelled just to get to Europe. (As for running up this trail - even the thought of doing that makes me feel ill!)

      Wayne Gaia is by far the best app for off-roading! You do have to buy the subscription to unlock all of the features but it’s not much (like $10 a year) and it’s totally worth it. There’s also a ton of UA-cam video’s showing what it can do.

      No. He didn't give coordinates that I could see, but this is part of the Raven Cliffs Wilderness Area in the Chattahoochee NF, at the Dukes Creek section, where the Raven Cliffs Trail head begins. Right off Hwy 348, the Richard B Russell scenic highway.
