RE: camping post-tx/Martha

[Guest guest]

Although it's probably better than most tap water, there are spots in

Quetico Provincial Park that ARE contaminated, primarily from inadequate

camper hygiene. I use a filter specifically designed to remove

particles greater than .3 microns

(http://www.backcountry.com/store/EXT0044/c3/s16/Katadyn-Guide-Water-Filter.

html), which does remove Giardia. As a backup, we can also boil water (10

minutes) or treat with iodine tablets.

I've been to Tuolomne Meadows, and upper Yosemite area many times (but it's

been many years).

....How do you handle water purity? We were just car camping but the site

had no tap- we got water from either the creek, or a tap in Tuolomne

Meadows...
