They should take Blade and give it the DareDevil treatment . Or Spawn . <| sep |> what the fuck why is that so loudi had my headphones on and my family woke up 2 stories upstairs from the sound <| sep |> I love Tallulah , it ' s really great and only about an hour from Athens . Panther creek is also a great hike that ' s about a mile away from Tallulah . Those are both somewhat popular so if you want seclusion they may not be your best bet . The Chattooga a wild and scenic river and truly beautiful place is there right on the GASC line it is the line . You can do long hikes , short hikes , or just go chill next to the river . It ' s probably a solid hour 1530 from Athens . A little further north once you hit NC there are just tons and tons of options . Really anywhere in the ClaytonFranklin area is absolutely beautiful , classic southern Appalachian forest within very reasonable driving distance from campus . If you want to not leave Athens my favorite place to go to escape is Sandy Creek Nature Preserve on the North side . It can be kinda crowded with families on weekends but on weekdays it ' s usually totally empty and there are miles and miles of great trails through the woods and along the Oconee . I would highly recommend it .
