Day 6 Neel Gap to Low Gap shelter

First double digit day! 11.5 miles in buckets of rain. The first 5 miles were great. The last 6.5 sucked. Luckily I bought a new rain shell. My feet were hating me by the time I got to the shelter. Sore and blistered to all hell. No photos of that. Hanna, this Welsh woman that I met at springer mt shelter, managed to have ALL her gear soaked. She scared the shit out of me. She definitely had the early stages of hypothermia. A lot of shit happened this night. Between hypothermic drifters and their unfriendly dogs and sub freezing temperatures, no sleep came.
