Los Padres-San Rafael Wilderness, Need help with a route

I have never taken the connector trail youre talking about. Im assuming it’s the purple one that calls out 1.3 miles on Bryan Conants map? I have walked from nineteen oaks to the spring before though. There are a couple little use trails that surround the camp so you should be able to figure it out. Not sure what that connector trail condition will be, but if you get to the spring box you should be able to join santa cruz trail again. Also I wouldnt rely on the spring box. For water conditions check out Hikelospadres.com. Last guy that posted was up at 19 oaks at the beginning of april and said it was dry.

Best of luck to you and update the water conditions back up Santa Cruz creek if you can when you return.
