[philmont] Micro Pur Contact Time

On Trek 4 in 2004, we treated water 7 times. No pump, just Polar Pure. A
pump would have made things easier at times, but it's all about water
management. I don't mind the grounds in my coffee, so a little dirt in my
water was no problem. My Nalgenes still smell like iodine, though. Just be
prepared, eh.

Trek 4 Polar Pure use:

Lover's Leap – Polar Pure

Bear Caves – Polar Pure

Crooked Creek – Polar Pure

Cyphers Mine – Polar Pure (Pump broken)

Trail from Cyphers – Polar Pure

Webster Parks - Polar Pure

Tooth Ridge – Polar Pure at Schaefers Pass
