[pct-l] Fw: Water Report sectionC

[AsABat]

I was asked to forward this. 

It is possible the stream iin question (between Silverwood and Cajon Pass) is random. There's a stream near Warner Springs that as temperatures rise the stream flows each morning but dries up later in the day. This stream sneaks up on you so watch for it. 

As for snow its melting fast and this weekend should be hotter. Enjoy the snow melt while you can but be aware it may be gone when you need the water 

Swarthout Cache goes empty quick in spite of several people driving long distances to put water there. Drink up at Cajon and carry enough to survive to Guffy, with cache water making the hike more pleasant if its not empty. 

 See below email for more.

Can you help, my post are not posting. I tried to email the pct-l admin, it didn't work. Also tried adjusting my settings. Still no go. I see your name on here often and was hoping you might be a champ at this! Here is what I tried posting last.
We went throught that section on the 9th and 10th and the strean was dry. Must have popped up since then. Saturday afternoon the water cache was empty of mice, snakes, AND water. Hopefully it has been restocked. Its a very hot long hike from Cajon Pass to Wrightwood (22 mi with no water for us) We took 6L each and were rationing when we ran across a delightfull snow patch just before the Acorn Trail. Just make sure you take enough water it's a lot hotter and steeper than we planned. We stayed the night at Guffy Camp Ground where there was a very yummy ice cold fresh spring about 275ft down the hill from the campground. However I was sickened by the treatment of the camp ground by the filthy locals. There was broken beer bottles all over the place. People left a fire smoldering, beer and soda cans smashed on the tables, and the pit toilets were filled with picnic garbage. Three plastic garbage bags that were left out Sunday night had been violated by critters Monday morn and garbage was EVERYWHERE. So sad to see such a beautiful place treated so poorly.
