Six Ballard descendants (Ryan Ballard (me), Nickolas Ballard, Christopher Ballard-Bartee, Anna Sullens, Asa Sullens, and Ahijah Sullens) trekked up the mountain under the guidance of our "bushwhacker" Ken Hudnut. There was lots of brush and the trail wasn't easily discernible but, we made it! Ken graciously let me touch down first at the peak. We left our own handwritten marker (I wonder if it's still there!).
