Me and some buddies will be going from Newfound Gap to Leconte to Davenport Gap November 1-4. Any of you going to be out there?

If you're hiking from Newfound Gap to Le Conte and then back to the AT and continuing on to Davenport Gap.....your only reliable water source is the pump at the lodge on Le Conte:eek:

Don't know. That is a little far out for my calendar at this point.

Yikes... have you been out there recently? I was going on info on the GSMNP website which lists Icewater Springs shelter and all shelters south of Clingman's as dry. Shelters north are not listed. We will pray for rain.

Icewater was running when I was up there. It was running very well.
