Water Recon

  • GET 2024 day 13, Oct 13, Sunday
  • Start Springtime Campground
  • End campsite near Nave Spring
  • Sawing and lopping and route-finding

Visitors perched on my car while I was breaking camp.

My goal today is to hike 4 miles to Nave Spring on Shipman Trail, doing some lopping and sawing on the way, and see if the Spring has water.

Shipman is hard to follow until the intersection with Milo, then becomes easier.

The route is getting to the very southern edge of the San Mateos, with flat land visible beyond.

The spring does have water, so I will camp here. A gap between mountains gives a view of lowlands to the west, with improbable cell signal.
