I'm planning on redoing the northernmost section of the BMT on December 8-11. This will likely be a three day two night hike with one day and night just devoted to meeting up and shuttling cars. We'll probably spend Saturday night either in Cherokee or camped at Smokemont. The sites I have in mind are rationed due to size restrictions, so let me know how many so I can get permits in time.
Any information regarding the water situation at Laurel Gap shelter would be appreciated.
