I snapped this shot right after I had filled my water bottles
from this sparkling little stream. It was just a few hundred
yards away from my camp for the evening. I choose not to
treat the stream water that I drink when I am in the backcountry.
Many people have varying opinions... some with religious ferver,
about whether you should or should not treat... I say, to each
his or her own!
