Mississippi Lake itself behind the tent. The water here, even after being filtered, tastes like grass and algae, unless it's chilled. I had hoped to venture onward today to the Mustang Flat area, but I'm exhausted from yesterday's trek to get here and not ready for another long bike ride today. Instead, I decide it's time for a short ride to Bear Spring a mile away to fill up with some better-tasting water.
