Yeah, no snow there. Good for my trip, bad for fire season. Thanks for the help.

Seeing as how this has been a dry year out there so far (I'm posting this from snowy MD), would it be safe to say the point to point route is more or less rideable?

Another vote for the Sawyer squeeze. I have heard that the bladders that come with the filter are prone to failure, so I got a 2L Platypus to use instead.
Also, the water pumps at the hiker/biker campsites on the C&O towpath are clean and tested periodically. They have some sediment from the pipes, but I've filtered that out with coffee filters.

I'm on day two of my NoBo attempt with my moto. I came across Benjamin on his unicycle as I was leaving Pie Town. He thought he would be done on Sunday.

While doing "research" for my upcoming motorcycle attempt of the GDR/CDT/TD route, I found this picture of a group about to finish at AW. The picture shows the date as July 4th, but the poster said it was a Thursday, so July 5th. Anyone know who they are?
