We enjoyed the summit of Mt. Oglethorpe (3288') this past Saturday. It was a spectacular day with the view to the south from the observation deck clear enough that we could pick out downtown Atlanta through binoculars...must be 60 miles or so away. This mountain has significant historical significance since it was originally the southern end of the Appalachian Trail. The AT was shortened to Springer Mtn. in the 1950s due to too much development to the south.
Given the historical significance, I was surprised to find no page on SummitPost for this mountain. Herein may lie the problem: the last quarter mile to the summit is marked
private by the utility companies and FAA who maintain towers on top. However, our local friends say it is completely acceptable to hike up and no ill will come of it.
I don't know enough about No. GA to competently create a page for this mountain. What's the etiquette? If a summit is private, one obviously would need to "officially" state that landowner permission is required. Beyond that, any problem with creating a page for a mountain in this category? Any southern Applachian experts want to give it a shot? I'd contribute a few photos.
