Bummer. We were hoping that we'd get lucky and get a night in at WCB in a couple of weeks. That's a site that we haven't visited yet.

Depending on how you route yourself, there may be ok water at Lake Lesage or Lake Livermore, or McCargoe Cove, within 2 miles of WCB campsite. Maybe you can work with that and manage your fill-ups to have essentially a dry camp at WCB?

I'll take a look at options. We'd either be coming from Lane or Moskey.
