37ish miles in (Neels Gap)

Well......so far I'm having a great time. I'll try my best to catch everyone up on the last 3 days but its kind of hard without making this post miles long.
The first day was alright. Easy 8 mile day. Lots of fog so not many good views. Did get a mix of rain/hail/snow, which was really cool and I stayed dry which is even better. Got to the shelter, there was already a bunch of people there. Everyone I've met so far has been awesome and a lot of fun.
Day 2 was still foggy. So again there weren't that many good views. Total distance was 7 miles. No rain it was just damp.
Day 3 was 12 miles. Got a bit rough at the end. But the weather did clear up was we finally got some views. It just got really really windy. There's about 5 of us going about the same speed so we all meet up at the shelter at night which is really cool.
Today was suppose to be 15 miles. But I got to Neels gap, a bunch of the people I've been hiking with decided to stay at the hostel.....and they were giving out free hamburgers for lunch so there was really no reason to go any further. So today was only 3 miles but I did get a sweet view at the top of Blood Mountain which is the highest point in Georgia. So I'm staying in the hostel tonight and we'll see what tomorrow brings.
Sorry if this is so scattered, and I'll try to get some photos up as soon as i can.
