People are messed up!
I know you don't trail run, but I need you to send out a warning to all of your running contacts. I have a friend who works for Georgia Power and he spends a lot of time on the power line easements and fire roads throughout central and north Georgia. Like the "Power Lines" at Sweetwater. On Monday he and his co-worker came across an intricate set of trip wires that were connected to 8 guns arranged in a crossfire pattern with electronically wired triggers. Best case scenario someone was illegally poaching deer with a very dangerous very illegal booby-trap. Regardless, I know a lot of runners use fire roads for trail running. We need to get a warning to as many people as possible and warn them of this dangerous scenario. My friend says he was lucky he was on foot and moving slowly. If he had been in his truck he would have never seen the setup and possibly would have been shot and killed.
Please pass this on to as many runners as possible.
