[pct-l] section E water part II

[doghiker at backpacker.com (henri butler)]

just hiked Hwy 138 to Hwy 58.  A 10 gallon cache at Cottonwood Creek Bridge was in good shape and Tylerhorse has flow. Much better than a trickle but leave the rafts behind.  No water in Gamble Springs.  But, there was a surprise!  A beautiful 200+ gallon tank/shower just 2.5 or 3 miles south of the Oak Creek crossing.  It's a "tiger tank"  and looks self filling.  Oak Creek itself was kinda running with filter clogging soup.  NO water between Willow/Teha Rd and Hwy 58.  White's Motel is anxiously awaiting hikers. they will pick you up at the Hwy, please call ahead.  Gary is still offering a $35 per night 'Hiker' rate which includes pick up and drop off.  Services are all close to the motel.
