Georgia 5 Corners Challenge
 
The object of this challenge to ride to the 5 corners of Georgia during the year.
 
The Rules
  • Provide a photo of your motorcycle or you and your motorcyle to our Vice President.  Pictures of you and a vehicle with more than 3 wheels will not be accepted.  We are a motorcycle club after all!
  • By all means, if a corner has already been posted it may be used by other members!  You'll just have to send in your own picture is all.  After all, the idea is to ride!
  • Photos of motorcycles on trailers will not be accepted.
  • Along with your photo provide the date you visitied the "corner".
  • A personal log sheet about the 5 corners is here.

 

The 5 Corners

  1. New Home in the northwest corner.  From I-59, Exit 17, Slygo Road, travel west on Slygo Road (CR 200) for 1.8 miles to a "T" intersection. Turn left at the "T" intersection, staying on CR 200, and travel 1.7 miles to CR 202. Turn right onto CR 202 and travel 0.6 mile to a "Y" intersection. Take the left hand road, Ballard Road, and stay on Ballard Road for 3.1 miles to New Home. There are few structures in New Home.  Look for the volunteer fire department and community center and take your picture.
  2. Trails End Marina in the southwest corner.  Starting in Bainbridge,Georgia look for GA County Road 253 running south west from US 84 and US 27 on the west side of Bainbridge. Travel west on GA 253 through the small settlements of Bethany and Reynoldsville for approximately 22 miles to the end of the road, mile marker zero. Look for the "Trails End Marina" sign and take your photo.
  3. Saint Mary's in the southest coastal corner.  St. Marys is located off I-95 at Exit 1 or 3 depending on your direction of travel. Simply ride into town and look for the sign located at the foot of Main Street in Historic St. Marys, GA and take your picture.
  4. Tybee Island in the northeast coastal corner.  From Savannah, Georgia take US 80 to Tybee Island. The Tybee Island Lighthouse is a major tourist attraction on the Island. Take your picture at the lighthouse.
  5. Dillard in the northeast corner. Dillard is located on US 441/23 just south of the Georgia/North Carolina border. The Dillard House sign is the photo requirement for this stop. The Dillard house Restaurant sign is very prominent standing in front of the restaurant.

 

Q: I've visited a corner and took my picture with my cell phone but don't know how to send it by email.  How can I submit my photo?

A: Contact our Vice President by email and he will give a phone number to send the picture to and will then submit the photo.
