Home / Mojave Preserve and Desert bikepacking trips / 2008: Bikepacking in Henry Coe State Park / Day 3: Pacheco Camp to Paradise Lake by bicycle, Henry Coe State Park /
After setting up camp and taking a rest inside the tent, it's time to filter some water from Paradise Lake
It has turned out to be a hot day, probably mid-90s, and my drinking water from Pacheco Camp is now really warm. The cooler lake water will be a treat.
Besides, it's far too hot inside the tent to stay there.
I accidentally drank a couple of litres of unfiltered water from Paradise Lake during last year's trip (filter was not filtering) and I didn't get sick.
