We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

Legal? Yes for GFL holders or those holding permits of reciprocal states. If you're a resident of SC then I don't think so.
There are few exceptions to the state park rule: http://www.gastateparks.org/core/item/page.aspx?s=14493.0.1.5
See this url: http://www.georgiapacking.org/law.php and search for state parks for the relevant law.
