Day 7
Back up Woody Gap to Lance Creek. Lots of families w kids and dogs hiking up to see "Preacher's Rock".
The rock supposedly named because a young minister came here on Saturday's to practice his sermons. Is about 1000 foot elevation change to get here from Woody Gap so he must have been in real need of a quiet space for practice. Or he maybe he also came for some inspiration from God. Quiete a view. The 15 to 25 mph wind from last week has finally died down. And now that I am further from trailhead very few people and quiete. The President's Day holiday group left behind. Except for one jogger. He ran by and back again on his return trip. I would loved to have stopped him to ask if he ran up Blood Mtn and back. He wasn't breathing hard or sweating. After him. The only sounds in the woods are the sound of my poles occasionally hitting a rock.
Four tent pads at Lance Creek. There were at least fourteen people there. Many were sleeping in hammocks. Good group to visit with. Two guys from Marietta, one ATLANTA and two from West Palm Beach. And we had lively evening conversation
