[pct-l] How much water?

[Keith Robertson]

Crystal, Regarding section A, here's some info that should help: Lake Morena is 19 miles from the monument at the border with no water in between. Daytime temperatures will dictate your water supply for that leg which is about an 8-9 hour hike. There's plenty of water at Lake Morena. On the next leg, there's water at a campground called Cibet's Flats at about 13 miles but a good part of that is uphill toward Mt. Laguna and if the temps are hot, stock up on water at Lake Morena. There's another campground with water in late spring called Burnt Rancheria about 7 miles further. It's a bit sketchy from there until barrel Spring which is another 3 day hike at least. Find out about the caches and seasonal brooks and springs but be prepared. Especially for the leg between scisssors crossing and barrel spring.; 23 miles of hot, shadeless, waterless hiking (with the exception of caches stocked by trail angels). The cache at scissors crossing should be stocked
 but you never know. 
 
Good Luck,
