Sec 13 has no water anywhere close. That could change if we get some rain, but something to consider.
Just a caveat - great section of the trail, but koaloha you may not want to plan to camp at Sec 13.
I really enjoyed the long boardwalk over the beaver pond between sec 13 and Finland. Unbelievable spot.
