Water

Packing in water. Is that my only option when do some overnights in CNF or are there water points or streams and lakes for filtration around.

Depends on the time of year. Right now you have to pack water pretty much everywhere in the county.

Gotta pack it in for the most part. Before season I'll stash water at a couple spots when scouting.

all good advice. for the most part, my suggestion start packing in a gallon + for each day.
look for water it's out there. artesian wells that come right out of the ground. but hard to find.
but don't go in with out water, this has been a weird dry winter. bone dry out there. unusually warm.

CNF is a big area and the water fluctuates in accordance with both season and general rain patterns. Spring usually has a good deal of water scattered around in the Palomar District, and near as I can gather from my experiences trekking around the Descanso part, there are scattered streams. Do you have any specific idea where you'll be hiking around?
