How is the water quality at Round Valley? I have only filled up at the Ranger Station in Long Valley and the water tasted terrible. Any info would be appreciated.

It tasted OK to me when I was last there a couple weeks ago.

I agree, that water at Long Valley is horrible, I have been dying of thirst and spit it out.
But the water in Round Valley is something I look forward to. I have been drinking it without doing anything to it and I haven't had any problems at all.

hmm. You actually might want to treat that water. It flows from a tank. One time, when they opened the tank, they found dead rats floating in it. Just FYI.

Oh my God!! That's soooo gross. I'll never be the same again after hearing that! Thanks for sharing though....

Okay, time to fess up. I put the rats in there. I knew bluerail would be stopping by later. . .

Gosh, hate to think of some poor girl kissing bluerail after he drank/ate that water!

not to worry, once I made it up to see Thomas, all was sterilized.

Thanks for the info, I don't mind the rats, as long as it tastes good.
