Quoted By:
Immediately after the I-90 I came to a pond and filtered some more water, immediately chugging 1/2 Liter and storing the rest. Water is heavy, so I only carried around 1/2L at a time, and usually less than that if I knew there was a water source on the trail. The pond was surrounded by summer houses of the decently wealthy, and the few that were out and about eyed me with suspicion as I pumped my filter and stole water from their no doubt very expensive pond. Still, the sun was shining, it was a lovely day, and I was feeling strong and ready for more... Until I hit the first of three Mountains I would summit that day.
