Is there water at Gator Hole or do we need to carry in all we need?

There are sinks along the way, but you know how reliable they are. They could be bone dry, swamp mud, or standing water but hard to get to. Unless someone can confirm otherwise, I'm planning on carrying enough water to make it to Saturday's camp at Foster Bridge. There is plenty of water there (Withalacootchee River) for cooking dinner and recharging for Sunday's hike out.

There is water at gator hole. The time me and Ed were there; we didn't like what it looked like and found some standing water around some pine trees down a bit from campsite and got water there. When you hike to the bridge, look around and if you find water, I would stop. I did what Madd did and carry a lot in with me.

San Antonio is just up the road from the swamp! Ed turned me onto a great mexican place there we ate at after our hike out! Have fun on your trip! Ha ha!!!!!!

Yeah, I don't think the girlfriend will buy the excuse that I got confused and went to the wrong San Antonio!

Weather report looks outstanding for this hang! Mid 60's for highs and upper 30's for lows.
