Hello all,
This is my first post on this site, but I have been doing some research around the site and it has already been really helpful. This is a really informative and help full place to find all things AT.
Two of my buddies and I are planning a hike up Roan from Hughes gap in mid November. The 13th to be exact. We will be staying at Roan High Knob shelter the 1st night, then hiking to Overmountain shelter and staying the 2nd night. We will then backtrack to Carver's Gap to be picked up by a friend on day 3 to complete our hike.
My question is has anyone been up that way recently? And if so, what is the water situation? I know the data books say that there are water sources at both Roan High Knob Shelter and Overmountain, but I wanted to verify the current conditions. We ran into a little trouble a couple of years back when we depended on the "water sources" and they were all dry. I'd like to avoid that on this outing.
Thanks guys.
