[pct-l] Water question-Campo to Scissors

[Edward Anderson]

Don, 
To be absolutely sure that your group will have water at those locations in late Oct, simply cache it before you start your hike. I recall that I had cached my food, including my horse's food, near Sunrise Summit high up the hillside and well hidden behind some bushes. Sunrise is a roadside rest/parking area. You could dispose of the empty water jugs in trash cans there. In cases when there are no trash cans (and sometimes that was true) I just ask a motorist if they would please take out my trash (mostly wrappers in a Ziplock bag) for proper disposal. I have never been turned down with that request. At Rodriquez Spur, cache in plastic milk jugs and then crush them and carry them out. Leave no trace.

I have plans to hike from Campo (if it doesn't burn up from the current fire) to Scissors Crossing with a group in late Oct.  At issue is the water availability at Sunrise Trailhead mile 59 and Rodriquez Spur Truck Tr mile 68.4.  The water report for both of these locations mentions well/tanks.  Can anyone tell me how reliable are these two water sources at this time of the year?  
Another question--does anyone know of a safe place to park a car for a week in Campo?
Any information would be appreciated.

Still Lookin'
