<html><body bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><div>I hiked the AZT thru a couple of months ago and made no water caches at all. I carried no more than two quarts and never had a problem. The Gaudet online water report is excellent. If you send him a water report, he updates the table very quickly. Often I had access to other hikers' observations which were only 10 days or so old. And that helped me carry as little water as possible. So carry a copy with you. And also keep your eyes open, because there are probably twice as many sources on the ground as are on his spreadsheet. I gps marked most of the sources on the AZT, so if you're into that, check my website at:</div><div><a href="http://bedore.org/2012_Arizona_Trail.html">http://bedore.org/2012_Arizona_Trail.html</a><br><br>Dan Bedore<div>www.bedore.org</div></div><div><br>On Jan 6, 2013, at 4:21 PM, Matt Signore <<a href="mailto:mpsignore@gmail.com">mpsignore@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><div></div><blockquote type="cite"><div><p>The water sources I remember are <br>
bath tub spring @ 8 mile mark <br>
Parker Canyon iirc @ 21 mile mark<br>
Patagonia (town) @ 50ish mm. I forget from there. Best to get the info from AZT website or /gasp a guide book!</p>

If I may steal space from this forum, can any of you who have hiked these segments in the Spring tell me if there are any places where we should definitely cache water along the way? Assume we are not too picky about our water sources.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
