This is Rocktown. It is in northwest Georgia closest to the city of Lafayette. It is on top of Pigeon Mounatin. This is the best place in Georgia I have seen. All the rocks you'd ever want. Almost exactly the same as Little Rock City in Alabama. The only catch is there is a 3/4 mile hike to the spot from the parking area.
         Directions: Take I-75 until north of Atlanta. About 1/2 way between Atlanta and Chattanooga watch for I-75 exit for Resacca, Lafayette, (HWY 136) - Turn Left onto HWY 136 & cross over I-75. Go 6.5 miles to T intersection turn Right to stay on HWY 136. Go 14.3 miles (through Villanow & over mountain) to T intersection & turn Left to stay on HWY 136. Go 1.3 miles and turn Right to stay on HWY 136. Go 3.9 miles to HWY 27/136 (traffic light) - continue straight ahead to HWY 27 in the town of Lafayette, Georgia. Turn Left onto HWY 27/193 and go a short distance. HWY 193 north will turn Right. Go 2.7 miles on HWY 193 to Chamberlain Road and turn Left onto Chamberlain (Petro station on Right) Go 3.3 miles on Chamberlain Rd to Crockford-Pigeon Wildlife Area sign on Right - turn Right onto road. Take this road approximately. 1.8 miles (as the road steepens it gets rougher, and goes up the Mt. via a series of switchbacks). Near the top of the mountain, when the road splits, take the Right fork (Rocky Lane ) 1.3 miles further. Turn Left onto dirt road, 1/3 mile to parking area. Trailhead is at the right corner of the parking lot, next to the information stand. Camping is allowed in woods surrounding parking area. There is a flat trail leading to the crawling area.

Yea I know what you mean, that is the only downside. It wouldn't be too hard to ride a bike there though. -------------------- Team Xtreme
