Reading my favorite site

might lead you to conclude that chlorine is ineffectual for making potable
water for personal consumption. That would be a rational conclusion....

Interestingly, "water treatment" was a topic of conversation a few times
with the SOBOs met in the Smokys this past week. Some DID filter; some
*sometimes* iodined; some... well, maybe Stitches recalls better. (?) One
gal claimed she caught giardiasis, and responded to it with an "Oh, well."

Me? These soon-to-be 2000 milers asked me how *I'd* treated *my* water way
back when. I responded "I treated my water very well, and with respect."
Noone got it.
