Somebody tell me where the spring is at Woody. I went thru there Labor day and missed it-Big Mistake (to quote Bryson).I'll be NOBO again but more careful this time. Thanks!

I had trouble finding that spring in 2012. It was down a path (not the at) to the left after crossing the road. About 100 yrds down that path.
Thanks a bunch! Hot weather taught me a hard lesson:do not let your water supply go down! thanks again
There should be a line waiting at the spring....lol...
Sleep on the ground, rise with the sun and hike with the wind....
You will know its the right path, it's an old roadbed.
I have only used that spring once. There used to be a good little water runoff on the hillside about a half mile south of Woody Gap right on the trail. I would always fill up there.
it's down that path to the left of the AT, maybe a 100 yards or a bit more....just north of Woody Gap road xing, when the trail just enters the woods.... there used to be a "water" sign on a tree there but last time I went thru there the sign was gone. It usually has good water, but can be unreliable in the summer if there hasn't been any rain for several weeks
The path to the spring is to the left of the trail behind the latrines heading north. I believe it has a blue blaze, but I have not paid it any attention for many years. I'll be there in the next few days and will check.
I remember spending a couple min looking for it, didnt see it, and then continueing on. It probably needs to be more evident.
