Re: water cache in middle of San Felipe Hills:

One hundred fifty miles on dirt roads plus a two mile bushwack??! Such an
arduous approach must require that one tank up on water, in order to make
it the full distance safely. :)

In all serious, I applaud the samaritan effort involved in supplying these caches, but maintain for the sake of one's health that all caches are best ignored
until actually tripping over them. Those that do trip over them may run
them dry, so those behind had best carry enough water to reach the next NATURAL
source. That said, it would appear that water caches should be considered for
EMERGENCY USE ONLY. Will a felt tipped pen write on a plastic water jug?
