[pct-l] Water caches

My assumption was that hikers that placed hidden water caches for themselves would be responsible enough to pick them up after they had passed through.

RustyKnees replies:  Actually, we did No-Trace, but I did it a year late.  We never did get to hike that part of the trail until a year later due to some unforeseen circumstances.  I put the water bottles under a bush in a black trash bag across from the trail water facility.  The only thing that happened in a year was that the black bag had some small animal holes in it, but the water bottles inside were fine.  It saved our bacon that those bottle were still there.
