    Some confusion/misinformation in the article.

    Recent rains and snow have prompted a lifting of the campfire ban that has been in place several months in the Chattahoochee and Oconee national forests and the hiking trail on Blood Mountain that was closed last week after the disappearance of a hiker has reopened.
    Fires on Blood Mountain or in the Blood Mountain Wilderness are prohibited year-round.

    Maybe a coma in the right spot might help. Maybe, like this?

    ...Oconee national forests, and the hiking trail...

    Just my guess.

    I meant comma. Talk about syntax!
