[at-l] Blood Mtn Area - Lake Winfield Scott

[thornel@attglobal.net (W F Thorneloe)]

Essentially, you would just be walking up from Winfield Scott to Slaughter 
Gap and going back down to the campground after walking south for a mile or 
so. You could walk a few hundred yards south to Bird Gap and the Woods Hole 
Shelter, or a bit further up north to Blood Mountain and circle back down 
to Winfield Scott.

Winfield Scott is a neat campground and would make a nice base station for 
day hikes along those lines. I have not walked Jarrard Gap trail but have 
seen its location. Another loop would be up to Slaughter Gap and down the 
Duncan Ridge trail back to the road for a walk east to the campground.
