The entire hike was in cloud cover, which had its advantage (cooler temperature) but disadvantage as well (no visibility anywhere!).  We were lucky not to have a drop of rain, though the wet trail from recent rain and fog made the descent from Blood Mountain to Neel Gap quite slippery on the rocks and boulders.  The front of the pack did some trail running (were they crazy?) while the back (Joyce) was just happy to make it to the top of Blood Mountain with a little breath left in her body. Victor did a great job of planning the hike, and has already posted #4 in the series.  ~ Joyce
