Day 4

Left Gooch Campground before 9am. That's a record for me. Climbed Blood Mountain which was quite the climb. 4500 Ft of pure hell and then down. My blisters needed TLC so at Neels Gap I booked a room so I could soak them in Epsom Salt. I'll tape them up in the morning to start day five. Neels Gap was interesting since that is the point where hikers give up and hang their boots in a tree. Day 5 should be another adventure. Just need my feet to get better.
