finally figured out how to do the entire Atlanta beltline including the northern part that isn't even bought yet. I've been doing the unbuilt sections that were only dirt for years but the tricky part is the northern bit, you have to cross the interstate, peachtree creek, the rail yard and Marta tracks. currently the beltline is not finished but either in construction or there are neighborhood footpaths most of the way. then it puts you on Huff road at the NW end which you take to the water works. then roads north and west until you get over the interstate and on Collier road which is the only eastern cut-through to Peachtree at Piedmont hospital, which the beltline is eventually going to run along the back side of.
now was the only time I had to consult a map: the other end of the beltline is very nearby but there's no official way to get there. I took a chance that I could get there through the little cul-de-sac rich neighborhood across Peachtree there and luckily there's a "private park -- members only" trail that gets you to Peachtree Creek, cross that and bushwack the woods to the left and eventually there's a path that puts you up to the railroad tracks and you can see the graffiti tunnel and abandoned interstate bridge (pic related) that leads to the current NE terminus of the beltline.
I did it. the whole beltline. I wonder how many other people have done it so far.
