As much as I try to avoid water caches, I will confess that there are two water caches that I have been so grateful they existed when I went through. The first time I walked down the San Felipe Hill southbound, it was an unbearably hot day and I was under prepared to deal with the heat and its impact on me. I had not carried enough from Barrel Spring.
I notice that in recent photos, the cache has gotten a little more sophisticated. It is a big commitment to get the water to the 3rd Gate and to maintain the volume necessary for all of the hikers who pass by.
I will post the second water cache for which I was so very grateful.
