[pct-l] Hiker oasis cache

[Eugene]

There were a few gallons at that cache last week.  Why not use the Guzzler just a few miles past there?  The water report says it looks slimy, but that's just pollen on the surface.  The water in the middle is very clear thanks to the placement of a hand pump that Lawrence the Spring Guy put there.  I drank 2 liters from it last week.  It tastes fine and I'm not sick yet.  This water resource was already full, and with recent rains it becomes an even better option.  Tule Spring is good too.

> Has anyone heard what the status is on the Hiker Oasis Cache at mile 142.7? I see it's mentioned on the water report, but no current info as far as I can see. I'm doing a little SOBO section from highway 74 down to Warner Springs starting tomorrow, and that would be a handy spot to top up. I guess I'll just assume there's nothing there unless anyone knows differently.
