And cottonwood was OK but even the spicket was silty.  There was still 2-3 ft of patchy snow and frozen above 5000 ft in the Tehachapis so I would surmise when not frozen some of the stagnant streams would be flowing.  South of HIkertown water was abundant --- I was taking a piss every few hours I was so hydrated.   There was no stretch South of 138 where I went more than 5 miles without a stream.  The trail condition South of Pine Creek are quite a mess with last years fire followed by torrential rain.  ONe section going up Verbia the trail has been blown out for 45 ft and a 100 ft drop if not careful.

sounds about right to me. There's also a shower attached to it....
