[pct-l] Drought in Wrightwood



	FYI, the drought in Wrightwood, CA, has made it necessary to
truck water in to supply the town.  The local water company will drill
a new well this summer in hopes of increasing available supplies.

	Did too many thruhikers drink the place dry this year? :-)
More likely, there was too little snow this year, and too rapid a
meltoff, which washed the water downstream instead of allowing it to
percolate into local aquifers.
