The caches are not evenly spaced. The caches are located near roads in
places where they break up long waterless stretches. On average you will
need to carry enough water to hike 12 miles from one water source to
another, but there are a couple of stretches of over 20 miles without
water. One of these has a cache near the mid point, but it should not be
relied upon.
