I'm planning to backpack this section this week. There's a lot of ridge walking with spotty water, so current condition info would be helpful.
Reliable: (1) source 1.8 miles south of Chestnut Knob Shelter; (2) Walker Gap; (3) Hunting Camp Creek; (4) Laurel Creek; (5) Jenny Knob Shelter; (6) Dismal Creek; (7) Wapiti Shelter; (8) spring near Angel's Rest.
Unreliable: (1) Davis Farm campsite; (2) Helvey's Mill Shelter (reliable but a haul to get to?); (3) Doc's Knob Shelter.
Is that info accurate? Are there other reliable sources?
This part of Virginia currently isn't in drought, but it is July.
Also, are the meadow/pasture walks coming north from I-81 pretty overgrown (due to Covid-lack of maintenance)?
Thank you for input.
