Check Craigslist.org - I found a farmer, actually not far from Campo, renting space for vehicles.

> Hi all! I got my first trail magic c/o Snake Bite Bill(Hiker Bill). H stopped by L Morena and reported the water situacion from his YoYo from LM to Idylwild and back. I will post more details later but there is water every 10 miles. He got by with 3 liters there and back. I am headed down into Boulder Oaks now so I will confirm as I go and post the findings soon. See you on the Trail... IceAxe.

> of the thru hikers will get there, the conditions were tough to say the
> least. The snow started in patches 100 ft above Vincent Gap and at 7000 ft
> the trail was impossible to find. The east face had a few sections of tread
> that were clear but the north face was covered with snow to a depth of four
> feet or more in places. It was hard and slippery early on and difficult to
> get a firm foothold. After giving up on trying to locate the trail, I just
> went straight up. At the Wally Waldron tree where the PCT branches to the
> north to skirt Baden Powell the trail could have been anywhere. The summit
> was partially clear and the ridge to Burnham and Throop looked passable with
> ease - there were signs of a few tracks going along the ridge. Later in the
> day the snow was getting softer, but it was erratic and easy to posthole in
> places. The way down was tough, especially on the knees - hopefully some
> good snow practice for the Sierras.
