	GORP - Walking the Appalachian Trail - Springer Mountain: The Beginning
		Since 1958, Springer has been the southern end of the A.T. The previous terminus, Mount Oglethorpe, is a more dramatic mountain, but construction of a gravel logging road on Oglethorpe led to vandalism; pungent chicken farms along the route also helped persuade the Georgia Appalachian Trail Club (GATC) to find a different trailhead.
		Although it's revered among hikers for its prominent role on the A.T., Springer, at 3,782 feet, is an otherwise anonymous mountain.
		Springer's twin distinctions are that it unites the two branches of the southern Blue Ridge Mountains and is the southern end of the A.T. Move on to

	Welcome To Springer
		SPRINGER is often called "the third hand on your bike", because it keeps your dog gently in place at your side, protected from traffic, pedals and wheels, and prevents it from getting entangled in the leash, while you may always have both your hands on the handlebars.
		SPRINGER's low-mounted coil spring absorbs and reduces as much as 90% of the force of your dog's unexpected tugs when it lunges to the side, making it so much easier to keep your balance.
		SPRINGER installs on either side of most standard ladies' and mens' bikes, including mountain bikes and touring bikes.

	Appalachian Trail photos/journal- page 1
		I was pouncing with pure joy as I came down the mountain and was glad that I'd taken the approach trail this time while also revealing a new side to Springer Mountain that I'd never seen before.
		This was especially nice since the whole mountain could be seen from the south side unlike any such possibility from the north side.
		This was the first view of Springer Mountain and a view that cannot be seen from north of the mountain so if there is a stong argument for hiking the 9 mile approach trail then this photo offers a compelling reason.

		The growth of rhododendron, mountain laurel, flame azalea, mountain ash, the vast beds of fern and galax, the ever-changing profusion of wild flowers blooming from April to frost, the frequent streams and springs, and the fall coloring, all contribute to make the AT in the south so distinctive.
