The water cache in this location is very small and you should never rely on a cache - especially not during the peak of the PCT hiker season, when 30 or more hikers a day pass through. The highway is a good spot to get a ride into the town of Burney.

After paralleling the road for a mile, the PCT finally crosses to the other side on a straight stretch with good visibility, and some white footprints painted on the pavement for drivers to pay attention. On the north side of the road a metal cabinet stores water (only if urgently needed, be mindful of others) and some books to trade. It is about 6 miles to the water at Hat Creek / Crystal Lake fish hatchery from here.
