[pct-l] Campo to Idyllwild water

[rogercar@pacifier.com (Roger Carpenter)]

Thanks to Charlie and Karl for commenting on my list of water sources.  

Scissors Crossing, especially, can be risky due to low water and the cattle
problem.  I always check the direction of the flow before dipping in a place
like that.  I filtered and iodined the hell out of it, if I remember
correctly!  I can only add that carrying LOTS of water from Scissors
Crossing will make the 24-mile traverse of the San Felipe Hills more
tolerable.  In '96 I dealt with it by leaving Scissors Cr. at about 4:30 pm
(with 8 quarts of water) and getting as far as I could before dark.  I rose
very early the next morning and arrive at Barrel Spring around 1 pm.  It
worked out well!
