There have been 2 recent (unconfirmed) reports of an individual wearing
camouflage and carrying a machete threatening Forest visitors in the
Swallows Creek and Dicks Creek Gap Area. These areas are both on or near the A.T. in Georgia. Visitors need to be aware of this situation and take
appropriate actions to avoid this individual if seen and report encounters
to local law enforcement officials. Both of these incidents occurred in
Towns County. Please share this information with your contacts.
