    Default Water: Cosby, Tricorner, Pecks, Icewater

    Hi.

    Will be trail running Davenport to Newfound on Tuesday 9/20/2016 and am planning my Camelbak fills. It's been a dry summer I know. Is there any reason to think water will be dry at an of those shelters?

    Any recent updates would be much appreciated.

    Thanks
    JB

    Thanks for the Icewater update.

    The plan was to drive up (I'm a few hours south) tomorrow for the Tuesday run, but I may have to delay it a few days due to gas shortages. Almost every station totally out here in North Georgia today. Don't want to get stuck up there and can't get back.

    We'll see.

    Thanks again for the great input. Much appreciated.
