2nd time doing this trail. Wanted to complete it in one day one day alone, so I didn't pack camping supplies. I brought too much weight in food and clothing that I did not need. I got held back by a dog that followed me, so I had to try to find its owner.
I had packed 1.5 L of water and 9 espresso shots and had planned to use my lifestraw on the streams. Upon filling my water bottle with the streams, I found that the water was red which I assumed was from iron oxides, but it could have been from tannins. Nevertheless, I chose not to filter the water just in case it was unsafe. I stopped at a random house in Baleine to fill my bottle, then again in Big Lorraine. Because of this, I assumed that this attempt would be considered supported.
I will attempt this trail again and go for a much faster time.
