Not sure how I feel about that...
I guess it's a good thing.. I seem to remember potable water available a long time ago up there..
But if the creek water tastes better... I'll still pump... I love the way that stuff tastes.. All glacial and wot-not...

I don't think I really like it. I mean, most everyone who knows what they're doing has SOME form of water filtration with them. It'll just encourage more people who DON'T know what they're doing...
Oh well, I'll survive (although I might still be in the filter creek category)

MMMmmm... water. No more iodine. I think it's a good idea, I doubt it will draw more people at all. I doubt too many people decide not to hike becuase they have to bring water.

I don't think I've ever seen a "poser" up at the ravine. I've heard stories of people getting in way over their head, and seen a snowboarder go over the lip and careeme in the line of folks walking up, but I don't think I've really run into someone who I didn't feel somehow that I could connect with really easy, and that I would probably end up liking if I got to know them.
Except that poser I saw last year with the yankees hate on.

A well means more water, maybe they could start making snow... even better, use the Snow Magic System and keep the place skiiable 365.25 days a year!
