Hello there. So I'm planning to do a quick 3 day 2 night hike. This is my plan:

Day 1: Park at Gooch Gap and get shuttled back to Springer Mountain. Hike to stover creek shelter.

Day 2: Stover Creek shelter to Gooch Moutain Shelter.

Day 3: Hike out to car at Gooch Gap.

I've done about 7 or 8 section hikes but none anywhere near this area. Usually I go in April or October. I'm assuming I'll need some bug spray. Does anyone have any words of wisdom about this area? Tips or suggestions are welcome. Things to not miss et cetera.

Doesn't look like I'll need reservations at these shelters, unless I misread that on the Georgia AT site.

Thanks in advance for your input.
