I used to drink straight out of it every day. The water was a deep rust red, and at first it tastes really weird but you soon get used to it. Soon you begin to prefer it, and it just tastes so clean. Rusty water tasting clean. Strange.
The rust is from all the old iron mills and iron deposits around the area, and hundreds of years of leaching into the water. Interesting thing is, hardly any women in that area have hypothyroid disease because of the overabundance of iron in the water. The water in parts of the Quetico (Canada) were so clean and clear that you could see down at least forty feet. Light greenish-looking water because of the reflection from all the trees. Honest to God, the most beautiful place on Earth. Have a great time up there.

It's really awesome. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:210520 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
