[pct-l] Fobbes Saddle Water
That whole section around fobbes saddle is basically a
ridgeline.......campspots would be widened areas of the trail if I remember
correctly. And a hike out to Fobbes ranch would be a 10+ mile round trip
proposition with about 3000 ft. of elevation loss. I didn't see any
activity at the "ranch" when we hiked that trail - just scattered equipment
and tanks and the like.
s.c.
