I was reading a trailjournal this morning that said while he was staying at the Blood Mountain Cabins he heard that it was just sold. I did an internet search and found that it was listed for $895,000.
So, to make sure I wasn't spreading any rumors I thought I'd call the Cabins and ask. Sure enough, I was told they were closing at the end of the month.
I stayed there in 2013 when I did a section hike in October and met George. What a great guy. The rental rates were very reasonable and they did my laundry for free. I just hope the new folks don't change things too much.
Looks like George will finally have some time to do some hikin' of his own.
