Great story about hiking alone. They wouldn’t drink the water because it had specks in it? LOL. Last week I was cooking dinner and the wind came up. Not too much dirt, but the pine trees started dropping baby pine cones (about an inch long) everywhere. I just picked them out of the chicken I was warming up and no one was the wiser. :)

From an 'ancient' commercial "Parts of the Pine Tree are edible." I wonder if you had just cook them in, would you have gotten kudos for your 'new dish being served'? LOL

City folks!! (Hey! I am too.)

I'd read a story by the MOAB search & rescue folks who told about a couple who lost their canoe in the CO river and waited a couple of days for rescue.

The girl was delirious and the guy DEAD when help showed up. They would NOT drink the CO river water for fear of GYARDIA! (sp?)
