I've camped on the deck of a sailboat in Lake Travis in mid-July. Horrendous.

ACT water tastes like drinking out of a dirty aquarium, so I went and bought a water filter, I have had Brita and DuPont before, both worked well. Target had one called Zero Water on sale today...it is supposed to be so great one filter makes the water have zero on their TDS meter...well prior to filtering it was a whopping 189 (no wonder the water tasted so bad), after filtering it was 43 steady...I think this is a filtering FAIL.

However, at 43 the water is making much less fishy and dirty, so at least it is better tasting!

Consider the source...I think they pull from the Brazos. Have you seen what that river looks like? Lucky to get it to 43, IMHO. :p

It has rained so much here today, when I went across it was looking like a mess for sure....a big big mess. I felt like throwing some single ply in there to help it out, and rid the world of evil.

Msv, you don't work at the peapack center do you? Just found out neighbors both work there after seeing a stack of boarding passes and asking what he did.

I ended the :rolleyes:fest by asking the agent if she felt good about displaying an inability to do her job. I'm usually not nasty to folks in service positions but this woman was on a big fat power trip.
