Drinking water by Mt Liberty?

[coldfeet]

Hi, very quick question(s)....is there always water at the spring by the platforms at Liberty Springs trail going toward Mt. Liberty?....I'm bringing iodine tablets and a jetboil, because we are camping out that night....

Question 2....how about critters at night or daytime?...Am I hanging a bag or do I need something else...all we will have are energy bars, oatmeal and the empty dryfood foil packs...

Wonder how cold the night time temps are up there?...looks like some clouds Sat night...thinking about a light down jacket....what about that idea?....I know everyone is different...thx...can't wait for Fri to drive up there....

There has always been water when I'm there. We've had some rain recently up here so you should be good.

I'd say hang things from mice more than the bears up there.

As for temps, maybe expect lows overnight in the 20s up high.

Hi

For camping,I would go to Hancock Campground just east of the town of Lincoln.

It is open year round and self serve.

thx packdan, excuse me for asking but what does "self serve" mean?...

 

[coldfeet]

Just googled the campground...little confused...says cost $18 per night but is that during the summer months?...Is it just a drive in at this time with no one manning the place?...

I think there is caretaker.

By self serve I mean you put your money in an envelope and slip it in the fee tube.

And for the fee,it stays the same all year (in winter the sites are plowed).

got it!...looks like rain in the pm...probably will hang out there and sleep in the van...maybe hit the Woodstock Inn for my www.viewsandbrews.com ...

the forecast there looks like some rain friday night and early saturday, and pretty cold saturday night, and windy up high...so you'll have it all going on ! good thing is the spring at the tentsite should be flowin'. Saturday afternoon and sunday look like they should be beautiful on the ridge.
