Day 6: Low Gap Shelter to Unicoi Gap. We have 4 days of food, but really need a rest day. We can call Lisa, the owner of Hostel Around the Bend, to pick us up at Unicoi Gap and spend the night at the hostel.
Blue Mountain Shelter is only a few miles before Unicoi, and an easy downhill all the way to the Gap. A young couple has obviously been living here. The two have piles of gear in the shelter, spread out in a way no one-night hiker would take liberties to do so. They are polite and kind to move some things out of the way so I can sit slightly out of the wicked wind. My face is chapped, and I am cold.
Made it to the Gap at 2:45, which is really good for us! Shower, laundry, a Brewery. Great day!! Total through day 6: 30,632' elevation gain, 63.1 miles! Still hitting our 10mile/ day goal!
