13 miles today from Gooch Gap to Blood Mountain. Georgia uses the term “Gap” to label what we know as passes in Colorado and Oregon. Will we see this in other states? We go through 3 or 4 gaps a day, it seems.
Below, some of the gaps we’ve crossed while in Georgia:

First Trail Magic. Today we came across our first trail angel. John from Boots Off Hostel in Hampton, TN, came down for opening weekend. He had this great set-up on Gooch Gap. Cliff showed up for breakfast, and when I came by he was making burgers for hikers. This is not your typical trail magic, it’s over and above.

John in center, Grumpy to the left. Burger Time!!

A couple extra pics of some of the terrain. Another good day.

One of many water sources on this section. Always filter!!
A nice place to take a break. View of NE Georgia.
