[pct-l] Paradise Cafe on Hwy 74

[David Ellzey]

Funny that you question carrying it Tim (aka Pilgrim/Gourmet), since I believe you ended up borrowing that micro multi-tool to open the faucet! 

Seriously though, Tim is correct, the faucet is south of the building toward the back. It is actually about 12 feet away from the building in the grass IIRC. I also agree a multi-tool (no matter how small) might be too much for thruhiking. We had the luxury of only section hiking from Scissors to the I-10 so a few extra pounds were allowable.

The faucet is by the the back door, on the rear of the wall to the right of
the front of the building.  It lacks a handle, so improvised pliers (
another hiker had a leatherman, something I personally question carrying,
but what do I know?) were required.  The proprietors specifically requested
that the one by the front door be left alone and covered, although that may
have been because of business hours although that's just speculation on my
part.  They were very friendly and urged us to camp under the trees in back
if we wished.
