Surveyor Name:	Jess Haas
Camp Description:	The spring itself is hard to access. Go down stream a little way and you can climb down to the slowly moving creek. I filled up here on my way in. Lots of poison oak and a shallow murky stream make it not the most ideal source so if you aren't in dire need for water might be better off getting it from alder creek.
Water Source:	Trickle
Water Source Details:	Slow consistant trickle

Camp Description:	If you scrape all the scuz out of this stagnant pool, wait 30 minutes, put extra coffee filters over your pre-filter, and really know what you're doing with your pump, you *might* not clog your water filter.  Or you could ignore Cow Springs, stay thirsty, and walk the 3 miles back to your car at Dough Flats.  Going west, the next water past Cow Springs is below Shady Camp. It's clear and free flowing.
Water Source:	Stagnant

Weather Conditions:	90 degrees
