Anyone know of any nice camping spots between these two shelters? What about water along this part of trail?

Yes...took a dayhike in middle-last month (July). Glassmine Gap I think. I was hiking southbound. Came upon a piped spring that was gushing like a fire hydrant, then crossed two creeks. One creek was part of the trail for a few dozen yards. Right near Glassmine Gap is where Long Branch (Long Creek?) trail comes in that leads down to the Standing Indian Campground area. If you don't want to stay near Glassmine Gap, drop down this trail about 1-2 tenths of a mile to a really nice camping spot by a flowing creek. Have fun...:)
