The flower bits wipe off easily from the filter's tube. Despite the mess, this water tastes pretty good. For one thing, it's a bit cooler than the air, so it feels really good when I drink it.
Pumping was getting rather slow and tight, so I only partially filled my water bag. I guess the inside of the filter needs another brushing to clean it up. I'll try some Jackrabbit Lake water tomorrow once my filter has been cleaned.
I walk back to the tent with my water bag slung over my shoulder.
