[pct-l] Section A thru-hike

[Paul Cronshaw]

Hi Jeff,

Good point about the "Emergency" water caches.   It does make more sense to report the availability of water in faucets, troughs, creeks, streams, and springs. 

Part of a well planned hike is to stock up on water from natural sources and pass on the caches. I hear that some hikers will “top off” or add a small amount of water to their existing supply. Wondering if this constitutes an “emergency”?

Paul

PS Loved your 2007 thru-hike journal.  One of my favorite bookmarks!
