Just finished this section over this Labor Day weekend and thought I would give an update on the water sources. Started at Indian Grave Gap going to Carver's Gap. Did not check them all but the ones we did check are listed below. Cherry Gap shelter - running fine. Lower pipe stronger than upper pipe. Apple Orchard campsite below Iron Mountain Gap - piped spring running fine. Greasy Creek gap - running moderate to weak. Clyde Smith shelter - running fine. Ash Gap - running weakly. Had to use dipper and then filter thru bandana. Parking/picnic/bathroom area - water at bathroom. Roan High Knob shelter - no water.

Though I was going to give out leaving Hughes Gap up Beartown Mountain into Ash Gap. That hill was hard on this flatlander.
