Drinking Helene

Last week, Tal, Jessica, and I made it to the Clingman's Peak rainwater collection site for the first time since the storm. As we expected, there was a full bucket of Helene water waiting for us. 

Normally we go to some trouble to not touch the water so we won't contaminate it, but this water had been sitting for way too long to be a usable sample, so we decided to sample it ourselves. Despite all the trouble this storm caused, the water was delicious.
