[pct-l] Camping near Mt. Ashland

[Suzannah Swinehart]

Hi Carolyn,

You can indeed get water at the inn. They are wonderfully sweet owners who installed a water faucet
right where the trail crosses their property, and even set up a picnic table in the shade there.

We did a dry camp near there last year - it was a few miles before reaching the inn so we just got up 
early, hiked down to the inn, and had breakfast at the picnic table. We camped quite close to the logging
road that crosses the trail; it might have been private land but I don't remember. Whatever it was we 
were not the first campers, judging by the amount of trash and beer cans we picked up. I'm pretty sure 
it was not left by thru's :) It seems like it might have been FS land, though.

PS - When you get to the inn, give Powder a pat on the head for me. His bark is a greeting, not a 
warning :)

I read in the Guidebook that we can get water at the Ashland Inn.? I also see that most of the land in 
the vicinity is private land.? Is there anywhere close to the Inn where we can?camp?? 
?
If not,?how far would?it be to the next possible place to camp (two?small tents)??? Is the Mt Ashland 
Campground the last possible place to camp before we reach the Inn?? ?
