I don't have an issue with the heat (God knows it's hot here in AL) unless of course water will be in short supply. As of June 2011, does anyone have any reports on the availability of water in and around the shelters? What about creeks along the way? I've seen some other posts regarding it, but they are relatively out of date. Typically, what is the water supply like in July on that section of the trail?
