The San Jacinto Water Project

Hmm. I could although it could get pretty cluttered. Maybe what I'll do is create a blog page to accompany it and keep notes on the page.

I was thinking just change the color of the icons. Blue means water, brown (or some other color) means dry. Someone glancing at the map and not taking the time to understand it might get the impression that there is a ton of water available on the mtn right now.

Err... yeah, but if the reports got old or out of date, then that could be even worse. My initial reaction is to give a rating and let people then ask around/do research on whether a particular source still has water. There is no way to perfectly compensate for people misinterpreting a map.

Live Oak Spring has the usual good flow of water as of 6 June. Trail is clear downhill towards Palm Canyon from the spring. Oak Springs closer to the PCT is a muddy seep. Dig a hole and wait and you'll have water to drink.

Well, yes, reports will get old and out of date. But otherwise what's the point of any map? Without reading your initial post on this forum no one would have any idea what I thorough V mean. It just looks likes blue = water.

Exactly why I want to put a post up in conjunction with the map.

Thanks

As far as I know LRV is dry. Which way are you coming in from?

No, no water between the Long Valley Ranger Station and LRV. You'd have to carry everything with you.

The only other option would be to hike to LRV, drop any heavy gear, and then continue downhill on the Deer Springs Trail until you find water. You will find water at least at Bed Springs Crossing but you might find water at Lilly or Rock Springs. It's less than a mile to Bed Springs Crossing.
