Lesson learned?  Avoid eye contact with cows.

Willow Spring is more of a stock pond. In 2006 the water cache @ Kelso Valley Road was empty when I reached it. I trudged the two miles down to Willow and found a foul pond with three cows standing in it. As I walked up one of the cows looked at me and then proceeded to poop and pee in the pond. There was a thick green/black sludge covering the entire surface of the pool. Luckily I was able to work my way around to where the spring was feeding the pond, push up the fence wire and access cleaner water. Willow Spring is in the top three worst water sources on or near the trail that I've seen.
