[pct-l] San Felipe Hills for Ben

[Montedodge@aol.com (Montedodge@aol.com)]

 Hey Ben. To do the Scirrors to Barrel Springs , you first need to go to 
Julian and have a second piece of apple pie! Then ,start around 2:00pm up the 
long switchbacks in the cool of the day( No Shade) and only go about 9 miles 
to a very nice sandy wash in a small saddle. The wash has thick soft sand 
that is better than a water bed. PA Jeff and Trailmix found this with 
Walk-a-bouts help in 2000. Camped there in 2001 as well. Then up at light for 
a delightful 16 miles tranverse and down hill to Barrel springs. Bring 8 
liters of water per person. If it is cool , you may get by with only 6  but 
don't push it!! Scirrors to Barrel doesn't need to be a "Death March" as is 
really a piece of cake with this 2 day break up. Good luck and enjoy the 
Wash.   ( Great view of stars and helicopters)  Monte
