Hello all, I have uploaded a new presentation for California Section F that you can download directly from my website at doubletaphikes/classes.html. Click on the blue button with PCT-CASF in it and the download will start automatically. CA-Section F will prove to be a little more challenging in 2015 due to the damage to Golden Oaks Spring at mile 583. Its already a pretty dry section to begin with but with the Golden Oaks Spring becoming questionable it makes it even drier. There are water caches in Section F but you cant rely on them. I have seen a huge water cache get depleted in just a few days. I have highlighted the reliable water sources in the presentation but any feedback you have is also appreciated. I will be looking for feedback on Golden Oaks Spring from 2015 hikers to see just what the status of that spring is but in 2014 it was barely running and the info I have received says it is NOT going to be a reliable water source in 2015 due to cattle damage to the plumbing around the spring. Worst case scenario you start with a 35 mile waterless stretch (if Golden Oaks Spring is unusable) and then there is also potential for a 42 mile waterless stretch if the Kelso Valley Road cache is empty (which it was for me in 2012 and 2014). There are alternate water sources off trail which I talk about in the presentation. Any feedback or questions, please let me know. All presentations and classes are FREE.
