[pct-l] Beverages

[Ernie Castillo]

Here's a treat to look forward to, or at least it was in 1980.

The water at Soda Springs truly is soda-ic. I added my usual dosage of Tang to a water bottle full of Soda Springs water and I swear it tasted like Orange Crush.

I can't promise that if Iceaxe did the same it would turn his Crystal Lite Pomegranite into wine.

But you never know.

> I could never get enough Crystal Lite Pomegranite flavored drink. Even the nearly Vegan and organic minded Thru hiker Bernie was astonished at the irresistable deep red color a single tiny tube of the stuff would lend to a liter of water. (Though he would not drink it!) It is like turning water into wine!
> Of course I got strange looks from my calorie starved fellow thru's for drinking an essentially No-calorie brew. I can't explain why it tastes so good to me. Most of the springs on the PCT were delicious as is but every once in a while I just wanted the jolt of flavor this stuff provides. It also masked the taste of those "less than pure" water sources beautifully.
> Of course I am also the guy that sent anchovie paste to himself and drank Ovaltime/Instant Coffee/Milk Powder... So YMMV!
