Yes it can, this year though, it was dry dry dry.  Even the boot sucking mud 
around Madonna Peak and White Face was bone dry.  

We shared a shelter with an end to ender that hadn't bathed in 23 days, since 
the start of his Long Trail hike.  We wanted to rename him Ecoli-boi or 
Staphylococcus Kid.  I've smelled stanky hikers before, but this was 
disgusting.  I almost lost my dinner.  All during the night, odors would 
drift from his side of the shelter. YUCK.  We got out of there early the next 
morning.  It took several hours for my nostrils to clear the stench.  You 
know how skunk odor lingers, well, this was worse.

Chase even tried to politely tell him about the great wash buckets we each 
carried, our flat bottomed zip lock bags.  Ecoli Boi thought it was a real 
accomplishment he hadn't bathed in soooo long.
