Round Valley pipe very low flow today, Friday, 6/13. But enough water if you are patient to fill containers. Here is a video ..

I am headed out to San Jacinto tomorrow to make a loop from Humber Park (Day 1: Devils Slide to Wellmans Divide with a night in Round Valley; Day 2: From Round Valley summit the peak, then head down west side to Strawberry Junction; Day 3: PCT to Saddle Junction, and back down Devils Slide).

Any updated water info? Round Valley pipe? Bed Springs? Any insight is appreciated!

Both flowing. Should be no problems with either Bed Springs at the crossing or the Round Valley pipe.

After you leave round valley, bed springs will be your last very solid water supply for your last leg.

The California Concervation Corp (CCC's) also has a line connected to this spring. When they are using the water the pipe is very low and sometimes it doesn't flow. Fortunetly this is usually only for a few minutes at a time so if its dry just wait or try and find someone with the park and tell them. Odds are there is a leak in the line going to the CCC's Camp.


sure enough at 11:06 6/19/2014 there was no flow, nothing nadda...
then later in the afternoon 2pm flowing... :wink:
those are the times I passed through, I have no idea how long etc. the no flow lasted.
