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

[GADog430@aol.com (GADog430@aol.com)]

I camped here many many times in my youth. We spent Halloween there
one year, and I envy you for being able to go. It is one of my most favorite 
places in the whole world and really beautiful. 

The trail up Jarrard Gap is a bit steep, but only about .7 of a mile. 
Take a left on the AT and head toward Slaugter. There is a trail in Slaughter 
Gap that turns left again (the AT goes right) and it is gently sloping back 
down into Winfield Scott. I think I measured it once and it was 6 miles, not 
all strenous and very pretty. 

The parking in Winfield Scott is right at the trail head. Winfield Scott has
a swimming beach, and if you go over the mountain to Vogel State Park, they 
have your basic family stuff. Putt putt, paddle boats, fishing, playgrounds. 

I know that you will have a great time.
