[pct-l] Cabazon south and border North info!

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

 If you hike South out of Cabazon, load up with water at the water pipe by 
the big rock just before you start up fuller ridge. ( I would take 8 liters 
and no less than 6 liters)  You will have a good 16 miles of almost too easy 
switchbacks that make wheelchair ramps look steep! Good camp spot as soon as 
you go thru a wide crack between 2 big rock formations. ( Nice sandy spot, 
can't miss it) For Ed camping North of border after a late start, try the top 
of the ridge JUST before you start down toward Hauser creek. There is a small 
trail the leading to a few private " Out of sight campsites" at the top of 
the ridge ( You will make a left turn off the trail in a small draw . Hobbit 
showed Amigo and myself this place in 2000 and it is great. ( About 11 miles 
from border)  Start at border with only a liter as there is good water in 
creek about 4 miles up the trail on PCT from border. Then take 5 or 6 liter 
from there as Hauser may not have water at this years kick-off time. You may 
need to carry water all the way to the Lake which is about 16 miles. Good 
Luck., Monte
