I've been wondering if you knew any inside scoop on this.
I only know what has been on the news. The gal was from near Atl but loved to hike up here. She was by herself when hiking which is something you should NEVER do here.
#1 those public trails have always drawn all the freaks and ....
#2 these woods are dangerous.
You can walk off the edge of a hidden rock ledge into a draw, break a leg, fall into a sink hole, even fall into one of the hundred of mining pits/shafts that plague these hills left over from the days of the Ga Gold Rush.
None of us locals go out without having someone with you, or GPS or whatever. Most folks hunt in pairs even. Many an experienced hunter has been lost or hurt in these hills.
It's not a smart move to go out alone like that to start with, esp where she was.
But they sure are searching hard, the air is just humming with aricraft and last nite I kept hearing planes. I guess they were trying out the heat sensor deal to see what they find.
I bet all the pot growers are nervous!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:
