Arrived at First Water before sunrise. Only a few other people around the trail head. Did this loop counter clockwise. Not a drop of water until Needle canyon. There are a few pools of sludge in that area. It looked wet, I threw a rock in, and it sank. It took a few minutes, but it sank. Ran into a couple looking for the B-ship turnoff, tried telling them they went way too far past the Cavalry trail, but they went further upstream... They didn't see the Cavalry turnoff, because they were following the creek instead of the trail. There is a nice little pool with fish along 2nd Water, as always. Passed plenty of folks in the last stretch.
