03-22-13 In Neel Gap together

Bad weather was predicted, so a local angel, Jan, opened her home to us for breakfast. Thankfully, the weatherman was wrong and Jan still fed us. Pancakes, juice, and breakfast casserole-- delicious! Thank you Jan!

Back on the trail, Jess, Beacon, B and I decided to get a cabin for the night. We sailed down the trail and climbed Blood Mountain (elev 4461). A tough climb, but an even tougher downhill. The view was definitely worth it.

Once to Neel Gap, we went in Mountain Crossings Outfitters which made us feel like kids felt in a candy store. We bought a soda and a candy bar.

Just .3 miles to the east was our cabin at Blood Mountain Cabins. We shared the cabin with the group and bought four pizzas for lunch/dinner. We showered, washed our clothes and enjoyed the rest of the evening out of the cold. B has very glamorous laundry attire.
