Our target was Gooch Mtn Shelter but we arrived mid afternoon so did another mile to Gooch Gap.  Along the way so far we have met a lot of other thruhikers but so far no others from outside America.  It is spring here so we are seeing some early blooms along the path but the trees are mostly still bare of leaves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"565\" src=\"https:\/\/loudonweb.com\/at\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2022\/03\/IMG_7521-01.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-60\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudonweb.com\/at\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2022\/03\/IMG_7521-01.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/loudonweb.com\/at\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2022\/03\/IMG_7521-01-300x212.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/loudonweb.com\/at\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2022\/03\/IMG_7521-01-768x542.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/loudonweb.com\/at\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2022\/03\/IMG_7523-01.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-64\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudonweb.com\/at\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2022\/03\/IMG_7523-01.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/loudonweb.com\/at\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2022\/03\/IMG_7523-01-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/loudonweb.com\/at\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2022\/03\/IMG_7523-01-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/loudonweb.com\/at\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2022\/03\/IMG_7523-01-768x768.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A thunderstorm is predicted for 11pm tonight.
