[pct-l] Water Treatment & ending my hike

[Carolyn Eddy]

It's always good to do what it takes to live to hike another day.

You were pretty close to the edge, but I would have been more impressed if 
there was blood in the urine. That would possibly mean your kidneys were 
shutting down and you were rapidly becoming toast. (levity)

But really, from one who has been to the hospital for dehydration, not once 
but multiple times, (None having to do with hiking) you were smart to pull 
the plug, so to speak. A couple of zero days and a new filter or some bleach 
would have fixed it but sometimes your brain just tells you when it's time 
to quit.
