[pct-l] Fw: So. OR

[Tortoise]

I was with JoAnn and the spring is no longer fenced in. Up beside the road 
just below where the use trail from the PCT joins the road was a pile of 
fencing apparently removed from somewhere in the vicinity. The camping on 
the road SE (uphill) beyond the "tank trap" barrier to vehicles is good, 
reasonably level, and ample down wood for campfire.
