I suppose I could try that Glenn. Gorge myself on water at the trailhead, and again at each water source. Even plan to cook lunch at one of the water sources.

A problem for me is that (even back in my military days) I am a heavy sweater. I must drink a lot more water than many folks. Probably 3 litres on hand with no more than 4 hours to go to the next water source may get me by.
