Cloudland Canyon Hike
Sep0
In our summer of hiking Roman and I have been to many places, but the one place I’ve always wanted to visit is Cloudland Canyon. Since I knew it would probably be a very long time before I could hike again, I wanted to go somewhere I’d never been. Vince joined us and drove so I wouldn’t be wind-blown in Roman’s Jeep with the doors removed.
We ran into some friends from Atlanta on the trail which was such a surprise. Vince sprained his ankle and went to flirt with the cute DNR rangers while they wrapped his ankle and we even marked the occasion with a cold beer in Chattanooga afterwards. Turns out the Atlanta Bucks Rugby team had played a game today and were having their “3rd half” at the bar almost next door to the Big Chill. We didn’t stay long but Carla took good care of us.

Blood Mountain Hike
May0
Roman and I hiked in the Blood Mountain Wilderness, the Chattahoochee National Forest and even a couple of miles on the Appalachian Trail (AT) today.
We wanted to get away from the city and enjoy some great views and hiking. We found out quickly that: On the AT on Blood Mountain a rock shelter stands, and of this trail the USFS says: ” . . . the most heavily used portion of the AT in Georgia.”
We started on the trail from Lake Winfield Scott, took a right to catch the Jarrard Gap Trail up to Jarrard Gap. From there, we hiked the Appalachian Trail (AT) up to the peak of Blood Mountain. After enjoying the spectacular views from the peak, we continued on the AT down the other side of the mountain to the Freeman Trail. This difficult and rocky trail led us back to the AT and to the start of the Slaughter Creek Trail which we took back to the parking lot at Lake Winfield Scott. We hiked for almost 6 hours.
