Left Gooch Gap Shelter at 9:47am and made good time until I hit Ramrock Mtn. More climbing and then descent. Blisters forming and trying to take care of them. Moleskin and ointment. Plenty of advice on the trail and well received. Hikers are so empathetic and care. I'm at Lance creek for the night with some I consider my trail family. So many names for the trail. Boston, Jelly Legs, blisters, etc...
looking to reach Neels Gap tomorrow. Gotta climb Blood Mtn. Don't like that name. Good night.
