Water! Agua!! 水!!! (4.6 miles travelled)

This stream is the last filterable water source before we take the Half Dome Trail. So it's time to refill our empty liter bottles. About 4.5 liters of water are required per person for this hike. The sparkling water here actually tastes like it has half a squeeze of fresh pine nuts. This has made me feel like I am one-with-the-universe again. It's 10:05 AM and we're on track.
