Mountain Crossings at Appalachian Trail

Here's a cool slide show of Mountain Crossings on Ga. Highway 19/129. Regular readers to this blog will know I'm a fan and supporter of the A.T.
If you're ever traveling between Blairsville from Dahlonega, you'll likely pass by this store. To hikers it's an oasis, the first such outfitters after leaving Springer. Owner Winton Porter recently wrote a book, "Just Passing Through," about his many sightings of the characters who literally pass through his store. (It's the only covered section of the trail). Most stay only briefly but some, so taken by the place, manage to hang around months or years at a time.
Happy hiking.
