    Evidence notes: Firsthand user observation with a user-supplied coordinate pin; distinct from official EBRPD evidence.

    The user reports personally using this water spigot during an Ohlone trip in early September 2026 and identifies it as the source EBRPD calls Backpack Camp in its Ohlone water-availability list. The supplied pin resolves to 37.5115678, -121.7924162. EBRPD independently reports Backpack Camp water available; the user observation supplies the physical pin. The date is intentionally retained as the user-provided approximate period rather than converted to an invented exact day.
