I hiked Great Falls, MD. Chesapeake & Ohio Canal Billy Goat trail 5.6 miles yesterday. I made the mistake of not bringing water. Felt dehydrated and was saved by a nice woman with an extra bottle of water.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.Always bring water, and if you don't know if there is a good stream by the path, bring extra.
I am always with my 2l hydration backpack. If the path is longer that 20km on unknown terrain i bring a rubber bottle that can be carried.
Also food.
Mostly i hike on mountain area. The water goes very fast.

Posted by CallMeDaveI've never been a big wildflower person, but this is the season for it here in Appalachia. Other people can identify every variety. I'm not there yet.
