Report
After months of planning, scouting, revising, and revisiting, I have completed the Georgia Beyond 4000 Challenge by walking a continuous footpath to all of Georgia's 4000 foot peaks. With the exception of one minor hiccup near Grassy Ridge Bald, the planned route went off just as expected. The weather was cooperative and I was able to finish the challenge under my planned 7-day limit. A big thanks to my crew chief, Joni, who kept me supplied with food, water, and encouragement at most of the available road crossings! I completed my walk on Alex Mountain on a Sunday evening and then I went to work the next morning.
