[pct-l] Not treating water on the PCT

[Steve Clark]

I attended a trail fest in riverside, ca, back in 2005 and heard a lecture by a doctor that said that you did not have to treat your water on the PCT.

I had a friend who got giardia at Rae Lakes in 1981. No one else of the 6 on
the trip got sick, and she was the only one who drank the water unfiltered.
She lost a lot of weight and didn't have much to lose when she started.
