Water Source:	Trickle
Water Source Details:	Pools of stagnant water in the creek. Some trickles into said polls, but seems it’s evaporating faster than its flowing.

Surveyor Name:	Chris Novak
Camp Description:	Great little camp for a short overnight. I originally planned to go to Pine Mountain Lodge, but with the snow getting very slushy about a mile from camp, I decided coming back down and staying here would be much more comfortable. Great little camp with the creek flowing right next to you down the hill, so you can listen to the sounds of water flowing all night long. Great spot and only a short hike to get here.
