Springs.  
 Not having a guide or map handy here at work, can someone tell me
 
 a) How far to the first shelter?
 b) What's the water situation?
 c) If we hit the Trail Friday after work (which means late in the day), will 
 we come upon a good tenting place within a reasonable amount of miles?  
We'll 
 basically only have Saturday to hike, with the exception of however far we 
 get Friday night. >>

2.2 miles  - Pass spring ten feet to right in ravine.
3.7 Miles  - Spring 75 yards down NC side, opposite shelter
6.4 miles  - Cross head of ravine with good spring on right and good campsite.
7.4 miles  - Cross footlog below good spring

9.8 miles  - In saddle , trail turns right downhill through grassy field to

14.5 miles Hot Springs Post Office
