Post skiing a few sections with Corey's group at Hinton Nordic centre, I ventured off for spring water.

It used to be an easy stop for
spring water just 100 metres off Hwy 40 north. Since the 400m hose from the source has frozen and been disconnected, it's a 5-min hike in to the spring source.
After parking the car, I load up a backpack with glass bottles and carry a couple bags. The first 200 metres is flat on a lumpy road. The next 200 metres climbs up 170 feet.

I bring along my traction devices for stability descending with loaded glass bottles of water.

The hike back takes twice as long, slowly! Though well worth it.
