My son, Jason, and I spent the weekend camping at Vogel State Park. Vogel is located at the base of Blood Mountain, Ga. We camped at one of the walk-in campsites in the park. This was an excellent place to camp since this was the first camping since my knee surgery. I was not sure about being able to crawl into my tent and then to get up out of the tent each day, but the knees did fine. I even did some hiking up the mountain at Hogpen Gap. Jason hiked from Neels Gap to Tesnatee Gap about 5.5 miles with his dog on Saturday. Returning to camp I hiked a one mile loop around the lake at the state park. On Sunday I dropped him off at Tesnatee Gap and he hiked up Wildcat Mountain, while I parked at Hogpen Gap and went up the mountain from there. We met close to the top. As I remembered there was an excellent view on the trail towards Whitney shelter so we headed that way.
Below are several pictures of our trip.

I think Brooks was dragging Jason up the trail.

I also hiked down to these falls.
I even made it to the top of a mountain.
