Howdy folks. Leaving Friday for section Devil fork gap to Erwin. How's the water there? Thanks.

Last I heard no problem. Plenty of water. But for that section, be sure to grab water at Spivey Gap or going up Oglesby Branch on Flattop, after that there are not a lot of realiable sources until Erwin (except for No Business Shelter).

Thanks. I'll make a note of your advise.

Filter your water there (Spivey Gap). My son was aghast when he saw the passing horses piss in it after he had drunk from it.
