I didn't make it to Springer, but I can promise you there will be no water 
between the shelter south of Hightower gap and the Justas? Creek. (Sorry, 
but don't have my maps, and can't remember the name. I would be surprised 
if the springs at Springer failed, but this is an exceptionally bad and dry 
year. I am sure there is water at 3-Forks and the waterfall. Many old 
reliable springs are simple ghosts of their former glory.
