Still Lookin',

I don't know about the water supply and am myself looking to do part of that  one of these weekends. 

As for parking, we parked 2 days in a small lot at the South Terminus in Campo. We went into the post office and asked a local man there  if it was safe. He replied that it ought to be since Border Patrol was also right there.  And they are literally just a short distance up the road. He told me they monitor the area. I would think if you left a note, PCT hiker, you'd be good.

At issue is the water availability at Sunrise Trailhead mile 59 and Rodriquez Spur Truck Tr mile 68.4.  The water report for both of these locations mentions well/tanks.  Can anyone tell me how reliable are these two water sources at this time of the year?
