[pct-l] Water in Section E

[AsABat at 4Jeffrey.Net (AsABat)]

I asked this same question last week and the answer was who knows? Locals
may have ways in. The roads may be open by the end of May when the herd
arrives. Otherwise, the good news is that natural sources might be
available. If not, it's 30 miles of carrying water. 

Maybe someone in the area can give more info.

Also, it is never a good idea to rely on water caches. They should be
considered a bit of magic that makes you just a bit more comfortable if they
are there, but not so critical you dehydrate and die if they are not.

Any idea if the road closures in Section E in the Sawmill and Liebre Mt.
area will affect caches and tanks along the trail.  I am assuming caches
will not exist along the closed roads although water sources might be more
likely to exist due to the wet winter.

I am particularly interested in the section from mile 485 to 516, Elizabeth
Lake Canyon Rd to CA 138.  I will be section hiking this in a few weeks and
it is long a dry.
