Agua Escondida Spring Survey - 11-13-2021 - by John Peterson

Link:	Agua Escondida Spring
Date:	11-13-2021
Surveyor Name:	John Peterson
Camp Description:	Trough was full, but so full of litter sedimentation and algae that I would not have used it as a water source. Would be more than adequate in an emergency. I cleared out as much of the algae as I could, but the trough could stand to be drained and dredged for a cleaner source of water.
Water Source:	Trickle
Water Source Details:
Weather Conditions:	Pleasant 60's to 70's
