I lost my weird hat last time and found this scratchy wool Canadian flag hat this time. Did you lose this hat?

Camp Description:	When I arrived here with much struggling, I realized the last time I saw any water was two hours back (maybe a mile back) and so with only half a liter of water and the spring dry, I camped at the campsite. I tried again to find the spring in the morning to no avail and was not sure I could make it going forward up the canyon and up to Little Mutau creek without any water, so I bailed. I visited in 2019 and the trail was bad then, but although I got less lost at the bottom of the trail this time, in general, the condition has gotten worse. The wild roses seem to have taken over.
Water Source:	Dry
Water Source Details:	This is an unreliable spring

Camp Description:	Here is a picture of the camp near the spring. Note the empty signs There was a second fire ring nearby and a strange rock wall. The camp was visible from the spring because of a large duck that was visible from the spring that led you to the camp. All of this was pretty much where the topo says it is.
Water Source:	Flowing
Water Source Details:	There is a camp. It has an old sign but nothing is written on it anymore.
Weather Conditions:	Springlike

Camp Description:	The location for the Buck Creek Camp varies on different reference maps. I stayed at a camp at 118.850896Â°W 34.645203Â°N, which is near the camp location shown on the Tom Harrison and National Geographic topographic maps. The camp is shaded by many oak trees. Buck Creek was flowing with clear water and pools were deep enough to submerge a water bottle. The creek became dry a little more than a half mile upstream from the camp. The last water pools were near 118.858591Â°W 34.641120Â°N. There is a camp near the location of the Buck Creek Camp shown on this Internet site. I looked for Buck Creek Spring but could not find any water and the nearby drainages were dry.
Water Source:	Flowing
Water Source Details:	Please see my description for where I found water.
Weather Conditions:	Sunny, warm days, cool night.
