[pct-l] 74 to Warner Springs SOBO--water and repair report



Boy, it was perfect weather for this hike, about 60 degrees.  Today it is expected to be in the 90's.  Water abounds, however.  Working from Warner Springs north: the water at the 5 creek crossings of Agua Caliente Ck, which the guide states is usually a trickle, was a thigh deep flood (this was sure fun to cross at 3 AM).  After that there was water flowing across the trail at every bend in the trail to Chihuahua Valley Road.  After you climb and decend along Comb's Peak there is a strong creek at the point where you finish descending from Comb's and then start to climb again.  This is shown on map B3, right at section 6.  Nance Canyon is flowing nicely, and so is Tule Canyon (which is before Tule Truck Trail Road, so you don't have to walk down the road to get water).

I forget the name of the area, but 4.5 miles from 74 there is a slide-out that needs to be repaired.  There are about three areas with rockslides, but all that needs is someone to push the rocks off the trail.
