[pct-l] Sign at Joshua Springs

[stillroaming at lycos.com (Scott Parks)]

Joshua Springs was one of the nicest and most
memorable springs along the trail. Don't pass it up,
even if you don't need water (but you probably will).

It was a great place for an early afternoon dinner
stop. Lots of shade, lots of water.
