I was told by a group of section hikers I shuttled 2 weeks ago that the springs at Little Laurel and Jerry Cabin shelter were dry. That's what they said - I cannot confirm it.

The creek that is the water source for Flint Mountain shelter is reliable year round.

Going up Snowbird Mountain just north of Devil's Fork Gap is a reliable creek that flows year round regardless of conditions.

I've never seen the water source at Hogback Ridge Shelter dry but I haven't been to it this year.

The seasonal creeks just north of Sam's Gap and before Bald Mt shelter are most likely dry.

The spring below the campsite that is just north of Bald Mountain shelter is reliable year round. From there you're 5ish miles from Spivey Gap so camel up there to finish if you're hiking nobo.
