		<description><![CDATA[I for one am glad this is happening. It means the section of the pnt nearby on blanchard wont be logged at all, which is what the hiking community around here has wanted for years. This view of the Oyster dome from the Bat caves is amazing.  To bad there wasn&#8217;t more sun that day. [...]]]></description>
