Hiked this section northbound 10/10 thru 10/12 and found the following water:
Stream just beyond US 64 - good
Campsite before Swinging Lick Gap - slow but usable
Siler Bald Shelter - did not pass by
Siler Bald to Wayah Gap at NC 1310 was dry
Piped spring at FS 69 was dry
Wine Spring - slow but usable
Wayah Shelter piped spring - good
Licklog Gap was dry
Stream near Burningtown Gap - good
Cold Spring - very slow but usable
Spring at campsite before descent to Tellico Gap - good
Stone cistern beyond Wesser Bald was full but flow was very slow - approx. 1 L/5 min.
Stream across from Rufus Morgan Shelter - good
All in all, not bad for Fall. We got a good soaking rain on 10/12 after we got into NOC, so conditions may have improved.
