mm 1.0 Flatrock Gap. Shown is the intersection with the trail to the Bryan Reece Memorial where there is parking, both short and long term. The other trail  intersecting here is the Freeman Trail which leads around rather than over Blood Mt, reconnecting with the AT at mm 3.6.  GPS N34.73.7356 W83.9284  Courtesy pjwetzel@gmail.com
