Dockery Gap, three miles south of Woody's Gap, presents a spectacular panorama of the Blue Ridge Mountain ranges. This spot is about twelve miles northeast of Dahlonega, Ga., and ninety miles north of Atlanta.

not much different now other than the asphalt and growed up a little more. I stopped there numerous times to 'create' a gap in front so I could haul arse on the moto up to Suches. 🏍️

Never saw a Trans Am. I've seen Camaro. I saw a Challenger State Trooper a little while back

Catoosa County, Georgia is reportedly the only department in the nation that used Trans Ams as patrol cars. I've always heard Sheriff Stewart had GTOs prior to that, but I don't recall them and never saw one.

Those Trans Ams had no AC, because the sheriff wanted his boys to have the windows down in the summer. They sold dirt cheap after the fleet was retired. Folks drove them around for years with primer sprayed on the doors. They were in rough shape, but I've never seen a retired patrol car that wasn't beat up pretty well.

Yea I saw the Dept on the door. You know digging through the cobwebs in my brain I vaguely do remember seeing one or so. I was up in the area that day. The Trans Am, not the GTO
