there is anything that can be done about it (aside from completely changing our
beef culture). But the stream on the fenced-in side has historically been
pretty decent, and the location very obvious (i.e. right near the sign).</span></font></p>

would be helpful if there were a sign instructing hikers where to find the
water so that they don't have to trample all over the place to find it. I
found it and it was a weak stream, the flow didn't inspire
confidence. I wonder how much flow there will be in August....</span></font></p>
