[pct-l] water cache

[Diane Soini of Santa Barbara Hikes]

Thanks for your work maintaining the cache!

The weather has been so cold and there are so many little creeks  
still flowing that last week on my 5 day section hike I hardly ever  
needed to drink or fill up my water at all. When I looked in the  
Swarthout cache it was full of full bottles.

Hey, maybe in the cache you could post a big huge sign that says that  
people are on to you, you nasty litter bugs, and we are NOT HAPPY  
with your littering the trail and to please practice leave no trace,  
pack it in, pack it out otherwise we will be CANCELLING the ruck in  
June (that's right, no food for anybody thanks to you few bad  
apples!) and only offering orange vests, plastic bags and grabbers  
and a free ride to do trash pickup on the freeway in the hot desert  
to you slovenly hiker trash.
