Yes, its a 5 mile stretch that includes Woods Hole and Blood Mountain shelters. Start on the 29th as planned and camp just before or just after this 5 mile bear vault zone. No big deal. Stupid azz regulation, though.
I wonder if the bears realize they have been confined to a 5 mile stretch of the trail.
thanks anyy nice shelters their before or after. and i second that about the regulation. The will just move up or down and they will make it someone elzes problem.

Stay at Gooch Gap Shelter & hike to Neels Gap & resupply there & maybe stay at hostel. Kinda a long day for start of hike but doable especially if you have little weight in your food bag.
