Ok season is just around the corner..... What is the primary water treatment along the C&O.. planning on doing a mid to late March trip.. realize pump handles aren't on until maybe the 15th of April or so. probably going to carry 4 liter's or so. most of my career was outside year round.. Hydration was top priority.. Multiple nights...not entire towpath.. Just starting my journey.. Everyone on here has been extremely helpful..
truly appreciated.. Nope Nowhere near lock 10 and the spill.. Probably
above Brunswick or Harpers Ferry.. was in Williamsport Saturday.. Tow path was nice...If One were to start in Williamsport ,, where would you park and how would you get to the towpath.. wooden bridge with steps not really an option with my load..Heading upstream towards Cumberland..Any creeks or tributaries you would filter or treat..springs??Thanks...
Did ya notice the 9th letter wasn't used in it's singular form..
