[pct-l] Chihuahua Valley Road Water Cache

[eyakel at earthlink.net (Eric Yakel)]

Just to let any thru-hikers or section hikers know.... There is no water at the Chihuahua Valley Road Crossing at mile 17.7 of section B of the So Cal PCT.  There is no water cache there this year.  Also, the guide book says to go up the road a little ways to the large cistern that is there for water.  This is also now empty.  I do not believe that anyone is living in the house there any more and no one answered when I tried to find out.  However, there is abundant good water at Lost Valley Spring with a small stream still running nearby.  There is also a very small stream still trickling about 1/2 mile before the road crossing of Chihuahua Valley Road.  I will be starting the trail in a little over a week, so I will not be able to put any out this year.  Eric Yakel
