Hike Summary:	I hiked the Georgia Bartram in July of 03. It is a very scenic and nicely maintained trail with lots of water and waterfalls. The Three Forks Trail which comes down off Rabun Bald is steep. My favorite campsite of the trip was on this side trail. I parked my car at the West Fork NFS campground on Overflow Creek Road and walked down to Warwoman Rd, then to hwy 28 and then to the trailhead on 28. So when I came down from Rabun Bald, I took Overflow Creek road back to my car. It is a pretty roadwalk down with alot of nice camp areas along side the creek.
