It didn’t take me long to find the second potential water source I’d identified on the map. The map shows a creek running down from here, the reality is that there is just a wide marshy hollow. I hiked past the hollow because I was looking for a creek crossing the trail. A quick check of the GPS put me right.

It’s difficult to tell how big this pond is in normal circumstances, but judging by the bushes I saw, it’s pretty small. I wandered around a bit before deciding to camp on the north side.
