thanks. I just got it.

@rcorfman for me its a matter of 2 liters of water i have to carry. I'm slow (avg 1.5 mile per hour) and its hot, i drink a lot ( 1 liter every three miles). i have hiked the northern 7 miles and know it is an easy walk, but three hours without water in 83 degree weather is not my idea of a great h...

@Sredfield
thanks again. Any angels who stash?

@CannondaleKid thanks again. Is there anyone who stashes water out there for a free? or fee? I've tried that road three times and cannot even find the right wiggle at the beginning to make it to anything that looked like a road. When i stash it's off the trail and then i leave the remnants alongsid...

@Sredfield thanks for the comeback. that explains a lot. How do i get someone to stash some water for us at FR 4?????? Canondalekid says it's all called for, private stash. Seems a bit one sided, but i understand. I don't have a four wheeler or cycle to get in there. Last time i did this section wa...

@CannondaleKid thank you. I have the app. it says FR 4 and the AzTrail map says trailhead 17. How do i go about getting water stashed there? I have posted water reports in the past. hear lately no one is doing so. Would be nice if more folks did specially in the time of thru hikers and prime hiking...

what is the status of the cache at the beginning of passage 17? South end. Is there water or ain't there. three lives depend on your answer. not to mention the liters of water we will have to carry if no water is there or no answers come. Be blessed.

its a shame more folks don't post water reports even if it's running freely or dead dry. Need water info on Passages 16-17. Is trough spring really dry or has no one looked in the casing under the tree? Is the artesian spring at mile 279.5 running? Those two are really important and no reports other...

rumor has it that someone is caching water at Ripsley wash on passage 15. is this true and if so where the hide. two weeks to go to hit this section. down to the last 100 miles.

@Trew thanks for the offer. Only going as far as Freeman Road this trip. Wanna join us???? Will do Freeman to Kelvin Bridge probably third weekend in March or maybe 5 February. Will be in Florence Sunday at 4. We could pick you up. call me if interested. 928 245 1667. We are hoping to make 12 the f...

I have a Garmin Oregon with four states and AzTrail loaded. $550 invested. Any buyers? Make offer. The thing tries to too much for this old man to keep up. I down loaded the manual and its worth less than useless.

@Trew
Doing it starting Monday. Will let you know. We are going super lite and adding water. Once we make mountain View, we'll adjust load.

@Preacher
Was there any water at Mountain View during the Oracle Run yesterday?

@Bumblebee
i used Ken. commercial. 5206046939

@bergevinal
I used Ken. Costs, but reliable. He even saved my bacon on a bailout. 5206046939

@Sredfield
Thank you. Have the trail guide and guthook. Looks awfully sparse. Appreciate your responses

@garyc57
Thanks. Tub spring at FR4 crossing was good two years ago. Thanks for the others.

I intend to bust through the trail from Oracle to Superior in January. Any sources of water that are reliable. I am no spring chicken and my mileage per day is maybe 12 over this terrain. The long stretch from oracle to Winkleman bothers me. doesn't look like any water atall no how. Are the dirt roa...

the first campsite is three thousand feet up at the ridge. beautiful view. cool breezes. Good Hiking. Highly recommend Ken for shuttle at 5206046939. Has done well by me even on a bail out down Miller Canyon Trail at the last minute.

Now that I know there's water on the Patagonia to Gardner's road I'm looking at hiking it starting Tuesday Oct 4. Anyone wanna join me? Or, is there a trail angel who can meet me at Gardners monday and haul me to patagonia so I can drop off my wheels? :wlift:
