Got water?




Another slow start from a beautiful forest grove, this time with a pleasant, clear, acid-contaminated stream bearing away leachants from coal tailings.



So, water rationing rules dropped when i found this camp last night have been reinstated.

After a hard climb and six hours hiking, I reach the "highly reliable" water sources where I was looking to refill my water supply.

 
Reliably muddy?
 




































Chem quiz- contaminants with orange oxides?
 



















Better than none

Another four hours to Peters Mountain Shelter, two hours' rest and refilling of water supplies, then on towards Duncannon for as long as daylight allows. It's a plan.
