    Default NOC to Fontana Dam

    After a bone chilling weekend it looks like unseasonably warm weather coming in by the end of the week. Does anyone have an update on the water situation between the NOC and Fontana Dam? Was thinking about knocking out this section next weekend.

    No water problems anywhere in the southern mountains, including those areas affected by the bad drought during the autumn months.

    Plenty of water and mud too.
    Sleep on the ground, rise with the sun and hike with the wind....

    Good thing about that section is that there is a hot shower waiting at either end, no matter which way you go, you are covered. Be careful at Fontana though, they may have fixed the shower, but it used to be strong enough to take skin off.
