| Crew figuring out my camera timer on top of Blood Mtn |
After a great night at Big Cedar Mtn we headed forward with hopes of tackling Blood Mtn (don't ask) and staying at the shelter there. What happens on Blood Mtn. stays on Blood Mtn. Ha, well I am going to break that and say what happened. We huffed and puffed up to the top of the mountain (the tallest in Georgia, 4461ft) and found one of the coolest shelters we have seen yet. We hit summit a little earlier that we had planned and decided as a group to make the 1000 ft descent and try and make it to Neel's Gap (Wilderness Crossings, super cool outfitters). We discovered that there was a hostel at Neel's Gap hosted by Pirate and it was very affordable at $15/night plus a little tip for some provided dinn's and breakfast and two Busch Lights (BEAST) for me. Words can't express how unique this place was and the hospitality Pirate showed us was amazing. Logan and the rest of the crew at Wilderness Outfitters were awesome and helped us cut some weight which was much needed. Great Day!
