Yep, that’s the kind of ground water I meant, most likely pond or river.... no lakes I know of.
I watched the vid of the jeep group doing the trail and it looked pretty dry to me. There certainly could be some small streams or other water enroute that could be filtered. Depending upon whether or which trailer I bring I may bring two 7 gal cans and the 15 gal spray rig OR just one 7 gal can to refill as needed along the way. There is possibly ice chest water but I may use dry ice instead.
For us this trip has turned into 3 or maybe 4 "tours" including the Black Hills/badlands, the Rimrock trail, the Moab area and the Saw Tooth Mtn area on the return via the Southern route. We scrubbed the Northern NM area and other parts of CO mtns. but as always things are subject to change.
Any further thoughts of starting and returning to Moab as a central location?
