A little off subject, but Blood Mountain was on the way to my place up at Warne, NC via Blairsville. Went up over it one night by myself with a fireplace insert and snow flurries starting up. Stopped at the top alongside the Appalachian Trail to take a leak in a Port-O-Let. Cold as hell. Hauled my stuff up to my cabin and stayed in a motel in Hiawasee, GA. Good times.
Didn't mean to hijack the thread.
