Day 5 (Thursday, April 17th) - Neels Gap to Low Gap

Today's Miles: 11.50  
Trip Miles: 42.40

11.5 miles today with heavy packs from resupply equals re-aggravating an old foot injury for John. I iced it in a creek and swallowed some iboos. I'll wrap it tomorrow and we'll see how it does.

On the bright side, we four (Wayne, Tracy, Mike and I) all ended up at Low Gap at the end of a spectacular day for hiking. Beautiful views and great weather. Also, Mike's knees seem to be getting better the more we hike.

A lot of people at the Gap tonight. This is the area's holiday week so there are a lot of overnighters as well as thrus. Got a nice fire going which always draws people in. We met Nightwalker who has never finished a thru but has hiked about 5000 miles in total along the trail.  

All in all, boo boo aside, it's been a fantastic day.
