Well I don't know about your experience, but one of my friends and his wife
were hiking on the trail in SW Virginia and the only way they found water this
particular time is by catching rain off a tarp and filtering. I had to do the
same thing last summer just north of Tinker's Cliff's as the nearest water was
quite a walk away. If you are wondering about my friends experience with water
sources along the AT in SW Virginia well he has hiked from Mt. Rogers to
Tinker's Cliffs many times especially during the summer when water can be
scarce. He even knows of several houses along the AT near Campbell Shelter
that most people wouldn't know was there.
