[pct-l] PCTA statement on water caches (Jason)

[Gail Van Velzer]

I've been doing my riding in the off season, mostly Jan. through March in 
the southern part.  Most of the caches at that time aren't attended to and 
nothing but empty bottles.  Occasionally there might be a gallon left from 
last season, but rarely.  I just plan my days so I don't need the caches.

Golly
