[pct-l] Water Treatment

[Halfmile]

River,
My hope is the pctnews.com will be something similar to your
suggestion for PCT hiker news, although I don't see it duplicating or
replacing the water report. The water report is pretty good at what it
is. I don't think tweets can be organized in a way that would be as
useful for most hikers.

You can read PCTnews at:
