Drank water on the AT above Greenwood Lake Saturday night that foamed
like ale, was browner than ale, but (alas) was not ale. Iodine did not
much improve its flavor. Mixing in ale no doubt would have. 151 proof
rum and Kool Aid helped some.

BTW, the pump below Pochuck is still out.

=>As an overnighter you can afford the weight of a filter. But my PUR Hiker 
=>which i used for 10 weeks last year comes in at a cost around $50 or more.

=>This year's section i used iodine tablets coupled with neutalizing tablets: 
=>no yellow color nor iodine taste. LOVED the simplicity and lighter weight and =>low cost. Use a bandana to filter floaties.

=>And i even used pond water once.
