Hi all
I am planning a section hike during the first weekend in October between Pearisburg and Rt. 42 (Most likely northbound for about 40 miles. I am curious to know the situation with the water on the stretch of mountain ridge between Pearisburg and Pine Swamp Branch Shelter. After reading some threads, I realize there are a just a few water sources near Rice Field shelter and a possible pond/swamp near Symms Gap, but it seems like these aren't always reliable this time of year. I have no problem hauling extra water, but obviously some intel on water here would make things easier!
Anyone been on this section recently that could give updates on the water situation? It's been super dry up in PA this summer, so I'm assuming it's been the same in SW Virginia. Any info would be helpful.
Thanks
