Hey Charlie,
This is a most generous offer!!!  Where were you planning to stash the H20?
Near the first or second jeep road crossing about 13 or so miles north of Hwy
78 (Scissors Crossing)?

Last year I went through this section.  I was fortunate to have benefited from
some preplanned water stashing and did not have to rely on the San Felipe
Creek. Liz and Caithlin, two of the women in our group hid 2 gallon jugs of
water for each of us in the group behind the cacti off the trail.  They lugged
in total of 10 gallons. We had plenty of clear pristine water until we reached
Barrel Springs the next afternoon. 

I loved this section....we lucked out and the weather was a bit on the cool
and stormy side...and we were blessed with a double rainbow.
