Hi,

The Shriners have helped in the past and no I don't think the want to be
known as a 'public' area, but since they are a charitable organisation, they
would probably share water. In any case their lodge is next to the Laguna
Campground.

At Foster's lodge the water is very limited and it would be best to goto the
Campground across the highway.

At the campground the pay hot showers are closed I was told. (25 cents for a
couple of minutes of hot shower water when open)

It's funny, Burnt Rancheria is so close to the trail, but I've seen
> hikers walk right past it back and forth looking for it.


Good Point. I took a GPS and just added a map to the pictures of Burnt
Ranchita that has the Track and UTM points of the water / bathrooms.

Also UTM of General Store and note of picnic table next to PCT. This is just
before first road up to the Radar Station.

That help?

Havin' fun,
