Greetings,

I have a job offer in Adairsville Georgia. From what little I understand it is halfway between Atlanta and Chattanooga.

Seems to be 2.5 hours away from Windrock and Ashville is 3.5. Anything else that should be on my radar?

School me wise monkeys.

Plenty of trails up north from their in Cohutta and Chattahoochee, Bull Mtn in the latter was fun riding. Long time since I rode in Cohutta too. Doesn't look like anything immediately close on mtbproject.

Lotta good stuff east of Chattanooga.

i’ve heard the trails in northwestern GA are pretty good. you’re also near paris mtn in upstate SC

 

[velocipedist]

Sweet. Thanks for the info. I fly out on 4/19 to interview on site. I am pretty stoked on the location.

My Foster Brothers Ministry is near there. He tells me the fishing is awesome there.

Sounds about right, I have found some nice rental houses with lake access.

Just need to decide how long of a commute is worth closer trail access.

Found a sweet cabin with a lake near Cloudland Georgia.

Happy to host any adventurous Monkeys come May.

This is what I want. Except it can't be in Massachusetts, NY, or Ontario CA.

When does the statute of limitations expire in those states/provinces?

I think they have rules against glitter, especially in the woods. Never can get that stuff out once it's spilled.

 

[velocipedist]

Monkeys never fail to deliver; glitter and deviant behavior in 11 posts.

Move to Georgia in two weeks.

Stokage is high.

It doesn't. Thats why you need to be careful where you build your house out in the woods...

Crazily enough the demand for a Japanese speaking Engineer is much higher in Georgia than South Dakota.

I do enjoy me some bouldering:

Plenty of fun for me. Perhaps a trip to North Western Georgia would serve you well?

Mulberry Gap is nearby.

also Kim @ https://www.chilhoweeoutdoors.com/ in Reliance TN has amazing events. I did the Dirty 130.

If I can get through the list of places I want to go in the Western U.S. and Western Canada, and all the places I'd like to visit in the rest of the world... maybe I'll visit NW Georgia then?

 

[velocipedist]

Bilingual Field Service Engineer. When I was doing interpreting full time I did feel like an "anger translator" at times.

Should be fun, heading down on the 5th. Start work on the 13th.

Your loss, I find the Southeast to be much better for wintry fun on rocks and dirt. No desire to ski, so winter in Dakota has always been a drag.

I am more nature whore than snob, I enjoy it all.

I kid - I've been in that neck of the woods a long time ago backpacking a little piece of the AT.

Although the "no desire to ski" thing perplexes me.

Let us know how you feel about it come August.

At least it's a dry... ahhh... forget it.

pfft, I am fairly masochistic. Bicycle messenger in Tokyo, Ice Farmer in Tochigi, and I actually enjoyed living in Yuma AZ. And that was July to November.

I actually miss humidity. Georgia will be mild awesomeness in comparison.

 

[SkaredShtles]

I like this guy's positivity. We could all learn a thing or...

Ahhh... never mind.
