    "The new gooch mtn shelter is very nice. Unfortunately it has chiggers and lots of mice."

    "Was hoping to stay at Gooch Gap shelter but it evidently isn't there any more. I found no sign nor side trail to lead me to the shelter."

    "This is a small old run down shelter. It was barely long enough for me to fit in. But it does a wonderful job in keeping the rain off."

    "Gooch Gap shelter is no more. It has been replaced by the new Gooch Mtn. shelter a little ways south on the AT."
