[pct-l] Water Caches

[Jeffrey Olson]

Most people I've met and asked about hiking through the desert say they 
don't count on water caches.  I know I passed a couple in washington and 
oregon (one with beer!) and left them alone.  I did thank Frisian Rhino 
(sp?) for leaving a note in the middle of the trail pointing to a water 
source not on any maps or in any books only 150' from the trail down an 
old logging road - somewhere north of Burney Falls I think it was, 
before the McCloud River.  What a nice surprise.  A hot day in August 
and more miles than I wanted to walk in front of me was suddenly ended. 

Remember the feeling of drinking a couple three quarts of ice cold 
spring water over a half hour, totally rehydrating???  Those are 
memorable breaks. 

Wishing I were planning a long one...
