1	Pacific Crest Trail Water Report -- Part One: Campo to Idyllwild					Updated 06/20/23 @ 2:05pm by woodglue
2	Campo, CA to Idyllwild, CA					www.pctwater.com
3	Our new Water Report is on a map. It's the 2023 Pacific Crest Trail Report. Check it out! It's all the same water source, campsite, Creek Fording, Mountain Passes, Fire Closure, Reroute information in an interactive Google Map!
4	Never rely on water caches!!! Beware of contaminated water. Purify backcountry water. FOR WATER CACHE TRAIL ANGELS : Water jugs, and caches, left unattended often end up as litter blown across the landscape. A little rope through the handles is a quick fix (if there is no other way to secure the bottles) but don't forget to revisit what you've left out! If you are going to put items out on trail please keep Leave No Trace principles in mind to preserve our trails.
5	Updates will remain on this report for 12 months. You can send email updates to water@pctwater.com or phone/text 619-734-7289 or 619-734-PCTW [voice mail/text only, no one will answer]. Mileages and waypoint names used in this water report are derived from the Halfmile Mile Markers used in the 2022 Pacific Crest Trail Report, the same mile markers used in Halfmile’s PCT maps which stopped receiving updates in 2019. Please post photos & videos of water sources, fires, passes, Poodle Dog Bush, and stream creek crossings to our Facebook Group, PCT Water,Fire,Passes,Fords Update Group
6	Take fire safety seriously. Alcohol stoves start fires – go stoveless or carry a stove with a contained fuel source and a shut-off valve. A campfire permit is required in this section (even for backpackers stove use). Get yours for free @ https://www.readyforwildfire.org/permits/campfire-permit
7	Water sources with blue text [marked with * or ] have historically been more reliable. Sources marked with are more likely to have water year-round than those marked with a single *. Water described as seasonal, usually dry, early spring, etc. are less reliable..

Today a person could walk out on the mud and dig to create a seep, but will soon not do even that. But from the jeep road you see a large trough that collects rain water. The water is ice tea color, 4" deep and can be used in a pinch. I suggest tanking up at mile 4.4 and skipping this option for the rest of this year. 04/19/22 (789321): Pond could dry up soon. 03/11/22 (mr p.): pond north of here along the road is small and murky, trough has water.	4/26/22	Monty Tam

65		WARNING 08/23/21 from Thaddaeus: Between mm68.5 and mm71 there are a lot of areas that do not have clear markings, with about 5 sections of narrow trail that are completely washed out. The trail ends and begins again. In the dark this can turn you around and make for slow going. There is also a lot of loose gravel near the trail’s edge in that section that can make nighttime traversing long and dangerous. Trekking poles are a must to test the looseness of the washouts.
66	A9	68.4	WRCS068	**Rodriguez Spur Truck Tr [Concrete fire tank visible 75 ft W] - We are especially interested in water reports about this location. Please send info. Please place jug back under slow dripping faucet once done so that the next hiker has water in the jug when they get here.

Venmo=ThirdGateWaterCache Public Access to Private Property: This Third Gate Cache is located on Private Property. Trying to access the cache by car without authorization from the property owner could prompt the private property owners to refuse use of the site for caching in future. Even if the cache goes dry, unauthorized people can not be refilling it.	05/25/23 (Bill D): we added water to the cache yesterday. There should be plenty of water for the rest of the NOBO season. 04/12/23 (kicker&trip): cache refilled this morning 04/11/23 (Mustard): 1.25 pallets left 03/17/23 (jimmyjamhikes): 4 pallets 03/12/23 (Rabbit): Cache was well stocked 11/16/22 (Bill&Jan): 115 gallons available 11/05/22 (Tx..5222): 100-150 gallons	5/25/23	Bill D
74	The 3rd Gate water team is distressed by having to clean up hikers’ poop and toilet paper. Please practice “leave no trace” principles. The 3rd Gate water cache is ¼ mile E down a side trail with “Water” sign. Take only what you need to hike 9.9 miles to Barrel Spring. If the cache runs out, the cistern has water. NO FIRES. Carry out your trash and toilet paper, bury poop 6 inches. Be alert. Mountain lions reside in the San Felipe Hills and throughout California. Only approach Grapevine Ranch buildings in an emergency. Vehicles are not allowed on the ranch without prior permission from owner.

81	A13	106.2	WR106	Eagle Rock Spring	03/17/22 (woodglue): Vista Irrigation District confirms PCT hikers are not permitted to access the water source at mm106.2 any longer. They ask that in this area, hikers stay on the trail and not use the Ranch Roads. 03/07/22 (PCTA, A.Kass): the PCT is on an easement through that area. The easement is 10 feet wide (5 feet on each side of centerline). It’s an incredibly small (narrow) easement. Both Eagle Rock and the water source are off the easement and on private land (held by Vista Irrigation District). I’ve read the easement, there does not seem to be any provisions for access to the water (or the rock). What I infer is that the “no trespassing” sign does apply to hikers, equestrians and anyone who isn’t affiliated with Vista Irrigation District. If I hear otherwise, I’ll be sure to let you know. 03/06/22 (woodglue): PCT Water Report volunteers contacted the PCTA for additional information on the new Trespassing sign. 02/20/22 (Trenchfoot): No Trespassing sign now posted going into this area https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=4852382151465047&set=oa.945297872769859	3/17/22	Vista Irrigation District

86	Warner Springs Community about 100 yards east of PCT on the N side of Hwy 79. 08/02/21 (Larry): From PCT into Town, Nobo hikers use the California Riding And Hiking Trail, thereby avoiding the dangerous Highway/pavement walk to post-office. From Town back to PCT (Nobo), use the California Riding and Hiking Trail by walking to Stage Road 1/8th mile from post-office and approach the Chappel-on-the-Hill for restrooms and water faucets. Then continue OFF Pavement to the PCT, paralleling Hwy 79 heading west.

Suggested Donation - $5 per service (to help off-set expenses) Donation boxes on grounds. https://sites.google.com/view/warnerspringscenter/pacific-crest-trail/thru-hikers 3/26/18 (Scott) : There have already been two pedestrian fatalities on the road through Warner Springs since the beginning of 2018 - not hikers, but a reminder that roadwalk is actually the most dangerous part of the thru hike. So, the Warner Springs Community Resource Center has asked us not to walk the road to the post office/grill/gas station.A trail marked w/pink ribbon goes from the resource center .75 miles to those locations (saving about .25 miles). Cross the parking lot, go through the athletic fields (you'll see the yellow goalpost), follow the trail to the top of the hill where you run into the golf course, and go right on the dirt road, soon hugging the fenceline, until you see the horse enclosure where you turn left, crossing the edge of the golf course (including travel over a sidewalk that disappears and reappears). You'll see the grill first, and the gas station and post office are just next door.

Another hiker who arrived on October 15 found the tank nearly empty and tipped forward to drain the last bit of water out. My security cameras showed a vehicle driving up my driveway in the wee hours of 10/14-15. A friend who went to check on things on October 15 found the big 550 gallon tank gone, along with a very large number of other, non-hiker-related things on the property. — Total replacement cost of the stolen items is around $15,000. — Ouch! I brought a small (65-gallon) tank over and filled it. 10/14/22 (tx...8637): water tank is empty.

117		There is no sign for Tunnel Spring trail junction but there is an obvious trail to the west of the PCT. If you pass the Cedar Spring sign (NOBO) you have gone too far. Make sure you take the RIGHT fork of the trail once you reach the bottom. Spring is 40 yards upstream along use trail and dry creek. The trough is slowly fed from spring by pipe. Most report a sulfur taste. Steep trail down to the spring. ---------- If you head about 150 feet NE from the trough; low on the east embankment of the dry creek bed you will find an opening (about 2' wide X 1.5' high) to the tunnel. Inside is a long, narrow, shallow pool filled with GREAT tasting cool water. The only caveat: the bottom of the pool is very fine, easily disturbed sediment. You will need a long suction tube on your filter system and some means of getting the business end of the tube far into the tunnel. Use a long stick or a trekking pole to get the tube placed in the middle, and raised off the bottom of the pool. Harold on 6/20/13

Trail is reasonably clear as of 6/2/18, however a little rocky in spots. At a lone Spruce tree at dry creekbed, trail resumes past tree thru small overgrown section of trail another 300' to deadend at a 200 gallon cattle trough, perched on hillside, with horizontal pipe tap drizzling into it. [In past rarely used] HIKER ACCESS: If problem tap is clogged, or tank either stagnant or dry, access Spring Box directly. 15' directly behind tank is pile of large rocks. At the center is a 25 lb 9"x9" nearly square stone, 5" thick. CAREFULLY remove the stone and set it to side. Under it is 4"x12" slot between large rock slabs that access natural rock spring box holding 5-7 gallons of fresh water. The slot is large enough to dip a quart bottle. REINSTALL & ALLIGN the square stone back over access slot to keep frequent cows away from water. Note: Lion Spring the other side of PCT is dismantled and dry.

A thin use trail will take off to the Right, heading essentially North for .5 miles and sometimes marked by a small sign that says "water". The trail leads to a dead end dirt road from Fobes Ranch. Walk down the deteriorated dirt road approx 100' to a spring box and large blue rubbermaid bucket, fed by a forest service tap. Good flat spot to camp.

129	B8	177.3	TqtzValTr	Little Tahquitz Valley (Trail, 0.33 mi N)	06/14/23 (Lonewalker): Though the spring box for the tap is underwater and water logged, the tap is only producing 8 oz per minute. Tap is likely clogged with debris. The ravine that supports the spring box and tap 10' north, is full of water and flowing. 6/13/17 (Lonewalker) : In Tahquitz Valley (Tahquitz Meadow), the Forest Service water tap is ~200 yds past Tahquitz Creek. As you walk North from the creek, look for a large log to your right (east) about 60' off the trail in the meadow. Walk towards it. When you get to the log, turn L (due north). You will hear water gurgling about 10' from the north tip of the log. Look down and you will see a 1" pvc tap from which water is running. If you miss the log from the trail and hit the 4 way junction (which will take you to Saddle Junction), walk back south approx 100 yards back towards the meadow. You will pass through a small, shaded ravine on your way back. The log will appear in the meadow just past that ravine, now on your L.	6/20/23	Lonewalker
