And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
I took a drink out of a brooke like that once. It was approximately half way between Durango and Telluride, CO. Cold, pure, unadulterated water running from much higher ground.. Very, very nice!
Giardia causes diarrhea and stomach pain. Found in high mountain streams infected animals have urinated in. Never heard of it until I moved to Colorado.
Drink? Nah, moose piss in it.

A lot of mountain stream water, no matter how clear, has micro beasties in it.
