Re: [at-l] Water Source

     1999's stories regarding water might make a good book.
     
     In 1979, we went from three-four weeks of rain every day to noooooo 
     rain and dry springs. But better than "How far did you have to go 
     between sources?" would be "How far down the mountain did you have to 
     go to get a good spring?"
     
     So turn the thermostat up to 90*, turn the humidity up to 90%, get out 
     the hot, buzzing July rain jungle/forest, and start tripping over 
     rocks, roots, hidden sticks and slapping branches with tangles of 
     spider webs and all manner of small insect to stick to your sopping 
     body. And, by the way, you gots 'dat bad B.O., too -- the kind even 
     YOU smell.
     
     God, how I love hiking.

I was wondering if some of you could tell me about what the longest 
distance you had to go between water sources was?
