Windy night at Jarrard Gap

3/17/15 - More Trail Magic at Woody Gap. Some ladies from Indiana had set up and were offering grilled hotdogs.  Great lunch!

Made Lance Creek restoration area at the base of Blood Mountain at 3:30.  Most everyone stopped there although there's only four decent tent spots.  They're jammed in tonight.  I planned to eat an early supper then push up to Slaughter Creek camp, but got to Jarrard Gap at 5:30 and decided to stop.  There're two guys I've been hiking with since Springer, so it's cool.  I'm beat anyway, I made nearly 11 miles today, starting at 2800 ft elevation, climbing to 3700ft, dropping to 2900 then back to 3250.  Tomorrow is a 6 mile day over Blood Mountain at 4450ft.  I'll sleep at Neels Gap tomorrow.  There's rain forecast for Thursday, I may have to zero.

Sunflower Weeahwakeh and her husband Bossman dropped into camp about 6:30pm.  They plan a night hike to Blood Mountain summit tonight.  Two miles up trail and 1200ft up.  No, just no.
