Blood Mtn


Hiked in the rain all day today. Up Blood Mountain ( 4,461 feet - and over 1,000 of that is in just over a mile) An ass kick to say the least. Highest point on the AT in Georgia. Site of an Indian battle - where there were so many killed - that the rocks were red with blood. Beautiful old stone shelter. On the way down - Smoke on the Water - a new friend of mine, stopped at the rock where Meredith talked to the man that would later kill her on the trail. Paused and said a short prayer. Good day - not quiting.
