Thanks! I've had some pretty nasty water before, but it sounds like the CDT is gonna take that to another level. Is it weird to be excited about gross water?

I don't think it's weird, a lot of water is pretty rough and what's out on the trail is generally going to better than city water in Mexico. I only got that water bc of a knee problem and didn't want to tank up coming out of a valley. It wasn't bad tasting but sure was green 💚 personally I think the water from wildlife feeders is actually gross. No bueno 👎

When do you start?

Ha, yeah, that sounds... Not great. Starting April 8!
