Rain Collector on AZT 16

Post by xsproutx »

Looking to do a section hike that includes this area in the next couple of weeks. A recent guthooks report shows that there is water here but I've been screwed by guthooks in the past, even from a report within a couple of days, so curious if anyone has been through there recently and can report on the water. A rain collector in a year we didn't have any rain seems... suspect.

See the comments from @Sredfield in this forum post [ List of AZT cache boxes ]

Apparently there's no way to know how much water might be in the collector at any given time, and there's no recent reports on HAZ for Passages 16 & 17. You're wise to be skeptical and should probably plan to carry enough water for both passages. Everything was definitely dry out there when I did the southern end of Passage 16 last month.
