Over the weekend 3 of us did Sams Gap to Erwin. Water was generally available except not so good between Big Bald and Spivey Gap. Definitely carry a bit extra. Hammock was GREAT for this section. Used my Hammeck hammock with my fleece sleeping bag liner (no bag) and my DIY Sumderquilt with 1/2" insulation. Weather was poor Sunday with rain and thunderstorms, but it kept the heat off of us through some tough climbs.
