Amazing story. To think his body has layed there for 400plus years and his boots are still there is more than wierd IMo. It reminds me of a time when I was hiking and very thirsty. I mean really thirst. I didnt have any halizone tabs and was tempted to drink from a really fast moving stream that was coming down from the side of the hill. I had a funny idea that i should go check the source of the stream so as to not kill myself from all the stuff on the ground that finds it way into the water. Good thing I did !! There was a dead racoon laying in the water!!! I have no idea how the poor little guy got there or what killed him but from then on i carried water tabs and surplus if i was going to be gone all day. Sorry for the gross story but that lake story reminded me of what can get into the water supply.
