     While sitting eating our breakfast a hiker (One Thing) came along.  He was from California.  One Thing hiked most of the At last year, but had to pull off; so, he came back this year to try again as a thru-hiker.  I ask him how he got his name.  His reply, "I do just one thing, get up and hike every morning!"
    Jay  met two people on the trail from England today, but I missed them.  I hear that they hiked all over the world and will be going to Australia next hike.  I hope I get the opportunity to meet them.
                            

     Hiked into Gooch Shelter and signed the register.  The shelter was just built last summer - two story with pictures and poetry on the walls, and  a molding privy with No Door ;) :) :)  I hated to pass up that shelter but it was only 1:30pm.  We decided to hike a couple of miles more and stay at Gooch Gap in our tents.

   Several people are here too tenting.  Good water source, but its quite a hike to get the H20 has to be carried up hill.  Supper over (Mac and Cheese) and off to bed soon.  Simon has already sacked out on my sleeping bag -- soo-o the fight will soon be on!
     Tell Marge, the pen she gave me for "Best Write-up" is working well.  Nice night for sleeping.  Going to Suchess tomorrow, about 2 miles away.  I'll re-supply there and do some laundry.  Good night!
