[pct-l] Not treating water on the PCT

[will.hiltz at gmail.com]

I didn't treat after KM and never got sick. The only people I knew who did in fact get ill were those who were really fastidious about water, fwiw. I think a lot of folks got sick coming out of KM, maybe from the water there or the Kern River.
