Cliffhanger Pimping the Bartram Trail

Bartram Trail Historical Sign
Cliff "Cliffhanger" Hardin (AT 1990, PCT 2003, CDT 2005) put together this nifty little posting about hiking the Bartram Trail, which follows 18th century naturalist William Bartram's route through in the southern Appalachians through Georgia and North Carolina.  I don't know much about the Bartram Trail, except that it is about 137-miles long, and it intersects the Appalachian Trail near Wayah Bald, which also happens to be its highest point.  Nonetheless, I am somewhat curious to hike this trail since it is a shorter long-distance trail, and that it has some serious, historical value.  Cliffhanger has hiked the trail five times, and I intend to get information from him about the trail when I hike it in the future.
