Dude! You had to have been harboring it for a long time to lose that much weight! You could have picked it up any number of places.
It just does NOT make any logical sense to me to decide to filter the water because you have had an experience with Giardia. If you re-check the links I have included above, there is NO evidence that anyone has ever reported that links water in the Sierra Nevada with enough Giardia to infect anyone.
You can go ahead and filter or treat -- that's fine with me. But to condemn Sierra water based on your experiences leaves me completely baffled.
