I read somewhere that you had to camp at the shelters? which sorta of limited some of my days...as i'm basically planning the same section you are...my goal is at least to finish gergia, but have ample time as well...

if we don't need to camp at the shelters that will change my trip as well, as some days i'd be stopping early at one shelter do to the fact the next was too far...

let me know!
