[pct-l] How much water?

[dsaufley]

Just a note, the faucets were off at Burnt Rancheria and the campground was
closed when I hiked section A in March of '07. They probably turn them on
after the weather warms up a bit later in the season.  Given that it was
March, I found many of the seasonal streams running, and the wildflower
display was amazing. YMMV

Crystal, Regarding section A, here's some info that should help: Lake Morena
is 19 miles from the monument at the border with no water in between.
Daytime temperatures will dictate your water supply for that leg which is
about an 8-9 hour hike. There's plenty of water at Lake Morena. On the next
leg, there's water at a campground called Cibet's Flats at about 13 miles
but a good part of that is uphill toward Mt. Laguna and if the temps are
hot, stock up on water at Lake Morena. There's another campground with water
in late spring called Burnt Rancheria about 7 miles further. It's a bit
sketchy from there until barrel Spring which is another 3 day hike at least.
Find out about the caches and seasonal brooks and springs but be prepared.
Especially for the leg between scisssors crossing and barrel spring.; 23
miles of hot, shadeless, waterless hiking (with the exception of caches
stocked by trail angels). The cache at scissors crossing should be stocked
 but you never know. 
 
Good Luck,
