The wilderness sign near Byron Reese Park This little Ringed-neck Snake crossed our path. We picked him up for a picture and then released him. The views were nice even on this hazy day. The Blood Mountain Shelter built in the 1930's by the C.C.C. The view from to summit of Blood Mountain! A very good day for wildflowers - a typical patch of Black-eyed Susans. Our group at Slaughter Gap. Kneeling (l-r) David Whitaker, Jack Slaton and Wayne Miller. Standing (l-r) Doug Russell, Bob Presley, Dan Ross, Terry Doyle, Bob Thompson, and Tony Presley.
