I keep hiking up Cornfield Spring Road and realize that I'm almost out of water already; not good on a hot day like this

I've hiked 2.5 miles and it's already well into the 80s. I should have returned to my tent for more water before hiking this far. I know better! Cornfield Spring is only 3/4 mile away, but I should turn back because it may not have water anyway.
