Our Meetup.com group went from Carvers Gap to 19E (Mountain Harbor) over the weekend. Really enjoyed ourselves. Doll Flats was great for hammock camping on the edge of a beautiful meadow. 4 out of 5 of us used hammocks, as well as most of a boy scout troop that happened to be there too.

Hammock Stuff: My DIY underquilt, Hammeck Netty and Whoopies, Hennessy SilNylon tarp, and Hammock Gear top quilt (rated to 20 degrees, but I left most of it off me during the night.

Water was few and far between. I started with 3 liters, and walked until Bradley Gap, then got more and walked to Doll Flats. It was pretty dry except for those two spots. Skipped Overmountain Shelter. Beautiful weekend for hiking.

Thanks for the info Theosus, I am leaving for Mountain Harbor to pick up a shuttle to Iron Mountain on Tuesday the 4th. I was hoping that the water situation might improve with a little rain this week. Glad you had a great trip! I am really looking forward to it. I had planned on Shenandoah but things worked out for me to go here instead. Hope to stay till Saturday.
