After hiking up Blood Mountain, GA, we found a cozy clearing among the dense vegetation to hang our hammocks. We stayed for an hour or so, sharing oranges, listening for birds, and enjoying the lack of bugs. When we arrived, our hideaway was shrouded in the thick fog that we’d climbed through all morning. Before we packed up, though, we peeked around the corner once more to find that the wall of white had mostly melted away, revealing the rich blues of the neighboring peaks all around us.
