[pct-l] Water Cache at Scissors Xing

[Carl Umland]

* Scissor's Crossing creek has been dry for 4 years. The water cache under
the bridge is again at HIGH RISK! Six bags of trash, about 90% of which is
made up of empty beer/soda cans, wine bottles, HAVE BEEN REMOVED. This
total was amassed by so called hikers and associated 'camp followers' in
less than FIVE DAYS. Locals in my nearby community have reported sightings
of backpackers actually hitching from Julian while carrying packages of
beer. This note should be considered... notice that Scissor's Angel Larry
will no longer provide water beyond AZD weekend. *
 *On Monday, all wooden containers which house up to 90 gallons of water
will be removed. Hikers can then access water from Julian, 12 miles off
trail, or from a campground 4 miles south of Scissor's on highway S-2.*
*Far more than a 'mere few' have contributed to this mess, ruining a
formerly clean & well located cache. Maintaining the cache year around has
been mostly a genuine pleasure. This soon to be 'former' angel never
intended for an ugly trashed out scene to result.*
*The truly resourceful trail hikers will find a way to carry forward on
their journey of discovery. Carry on, and keep safe out there.*
