What part of the state do you live? My brother and some friends got lost in a blizzard in northern New Mexico and wound up building a shelter under some big trees in a wilderness area and the tree-huggers tried to get them prosecuted for entering a wilderness area. It didn't matter that they built a fire and cut branches to survive.

I Freepmailed you. We can walk anywhere on the Range without problems and do so for health.

It's good to avoid the tree huggers, though, when we can. It's also good to block their plans in our elected county commissioners' meetings and watch them short-circuit!

I had better luck than your brother. When I was 19 or so, I went snow camping for a few days in some pretty bad weather, probably someplace where I wasn't supposed to be camping. When I was walking back along the highway, some people stopped and tried to give me money. Those surplus, down filled pants and coat may have looked ratty but they sure were toasty warm and I was pretty proud of my North Face backpack. I finally took the twenty bucks because they just wouldn't take no for an answer.
