Why Georgia Overland?

In a word, Connectivity. I wish to find all open and legal, unpaved roads in Georgia. The goal is to create a network of dirt, gravel or unimproved roads and trails across Georgia. My focus is on North Georgia, though the project is open to any roads in the state that meet the criteria, and will likely include portions of NW South Carolina, SW North Carolina, SE Tennessee and NE Alabama. If you have a favorite legal trail, track or route you wish to share, and you have no reservations offering it up freely to the world, send an email my way.

Enjoy the journey,

David

Daniel, Decatur Garage and ATL to the Arctic

I met Daniel back in 2010, though I knew of the guy for many years as we have a couple friends in common.  It was during the lead-up to his inaugural ATL to the Arctic charity ride to Deadhorse, Alaska that I finally had the opportunity to get to know him.  As co-owner of Decatur Garage, Daniel (or Zolo, as some on the forums know him) turns his highly-skilled wrench on every motorized (and at times, non-motorized) vehicle imaginable.
 Rolls-Royce to Porsche, Toyota to Ford, pick a make and he has probably worked on it.  Seriously.  From modifying four wheel drives to building race cars to prepping motorcycles.  He even repaired and welded the frame on my ancient Fantic downhill gravity kart.  He is a very talented mechanic, fabricator and tinkerer...as well as a great friend, offroad zen master and world traveller.  Here are a few photos of his very cool custom trayback Tacoma and KTM 990 Adventure.  Enjoy, and look him up if you need an excellent mechanic.
