[pct-l] Lucky 5 and Sunrise Trailhead

[AsABat]

It sounds like there is some confusion about the removal of the Lucky 5
water cache at mile 58.5. The cache was removed because it is not needed
anymore. The state built a new trailhead about a half mile further
north, less than ½ mile off the trail. Directions to the new trailhead
follow:
 
 Near BM 5015. A new trail (marked with sign "Sunrise Highway .25 Mi" on
post) follows the 5,000-foot contour 1/4 mile SW to the highway. Across
the highway to the South are new parking lot & pit restrooms (at last
"5" in "BM 5015" on Map A9). To west a solar-powered well is visible.
Follow old road W 1/8 mile to well (at "B" in "BM 5015"). A sign says
the water is for horses only & not potable. Lift flap over trough, push
down float valve in trough down to get water from pipe, or just filter
from trough. (Valve at pump MAY (not usual) give water IF pump is on.)
 
This is much more reliable than a cache that was supplied by someone who
sometimes had to drive 100 MILES round trip to resupply it.
