[pct-l] Thru hikers for 2011

[Paul Robison]

on my limited experience,  scissors and third gate both had water  (very limited 
at third gate).
pioneer mail was dry when i went through,  i went to julian from here (better 
hitch than scissors) and put 3 gallons down when i got back on the trail to try 
and give back.

fortunately, there was so much water in 2010 we didn't really need it elsewhere 
in the beginning.  water between warner sprigns and idyllwild was everywhere.  i 
seldom carried more than a liter or two.

~Paul

PS,  DON'T RELY ON CACHES,   hike at your own risk, and don't thirst to death. i 
recommend everyone carry ten liters to be 'safe'. but seriously, i usually 
carried 2 liters for ten miles. that is me taking my own risk.

How are the water supply caches when you start a couple of weeks before the
kickoff?

Are the awesome people out there that early, or do they pretty much wait for
the big-shebang before lugging water up/out?
