[pct-l] San Felipe Hills camping vs Scissors Crossing Bridge camping

[Paint YW]

My amigo- Evil Goat, has been out and about, hiking north and south of his
home and getting a good feel for the tempo and vibe of this year's hiking
class. He mentioned the fact that many more people were camping under the
Scissors Crossing Bridge, than he had seen in past seasons.

For anyone contemplating this endeavor, may I suggest hiking NOBO up into
the San Felipe Hills a mere mile or two, and discovering the awesome draws
or mini canyons that are up-slope and which intersect the trail. Halfmile
has a couple of these areas plotted for campsites, but not nearly all of
them.

These hidden gems have some of the most beautiful, clean, near perfectly
flat sand floors, that expand as they gradually ascend into the hills.
Unexpectedly, some of them have branches or tributaries that can hold a few
tents each as well.

The con is that it is dry camping. So what- bring some water to tide you
over for the night.

IMHO, hands down, it beats a night under the bridge.
