[pct-l] Sierra runs - swallow bridge

[yogilists at hotmail.com (yogi yogi)]

Wow Strider, you're brave!  Or just plain crazy!  :)

I wish I could be like all you who don't treat your water.  I really do.  I 
watch you put your water bottles in a stream, then just drink!!  What 
freedom.  But I admit that I've bought into all the hype that the filter 
manufacturers put out there.  I treat all my water.
