Sorry to hear your bad luck, but thanks for the warning! My fiance and I are heading to RRG this weekend, dunno if we'll get to stay the night or not, though. So far we just carry our camelbaks and maybe some nalgene bottles for our water needs...

Bummer, HE, sorry to hear that man. Hope you're recovering ok for now. Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate! I'm planning a trip to RRG in March, so thanks for the heads up, it's greatly appreciated. Our plans aren't set in stone yet, but I don't think we were planning on going to that area, but you never know. It is a good reminder that water needs to be treated somehow or another, though. HC is definitely right, there are some areas that ATV riders have invaded that there's no telling what's made its way into the water sources there. I drank untreated water at RRG once and I never had a problem with it, not to say that it couldn't happen. Obviously it can. Hope you're feeling better soon, HE. :D
does that need to be treated w/ the stuff the doctor gives you or will it just clear up on it's own?
i had it once. i went to the doc & got the medicine.
I will be taking the meds. It isn't as bad yet as I saw other people's, but I am not taking any chances. Usually I hate making a big deal over these things. I just know other people go there and wanted to give them the heads up.
The trailhead was the one for the swinging bridge. We hiked the Sheltowee trace up to where we camped. The first water source was at a small but tall rockhouse about 1 mile in. All the rest of the water was from the falls comming over the top of the REALLY BIG rock house by indian stair case. There were alot of well used campsites on the top of the ridge over the rockhouse. I also don't remember getting water anywhere else that weekend.
