You have no idea.


Every time I'm in the Valley in the summer, I have to stop and tell someone "don't feed the deer, your killing it"..or the raccoon, or the squirrel or the marmot...it never fails...I usually get a strange look like "what do you mean, I'm killing it? How dare you say that to our young daughter"

I don't give a shit anymore, I don't care who you are...if your jacking up the woods, your jacking up the woods...there's signs just about every ten feed in places like Curry Village...once, my partner just walked over, and pointed to the sign right on top of the table where they were feeding the squirrel...they even looked shocked when corrected...

And don't lump those people into all CA people, they are a special breed, they drive motor homes with advertisements on the side and they are known as "Turons"...in Yosemite, they come from all over the world and congregate for the summer...they are the enemy we must fight as California climbers...


Yes I know I was stereotyping. When I was in Yosemite, all I saw were people from around the world, hardly no one spoke English. I just like poking fun at CA even though its a very nice state.

It's a great state. It's the people that are a problem.

Well, the marmots too, apparently.

Now drinking of elephant dung is pretty gross. But, him drinking his urine? I'm sure it can be done, but I was under the impression that you're supposed to let the urine sit awhile first(perhaps for . . .something-salts?-to settle), before drinking. We would do what we would have to do to survive. . .

Hmm, I always thought you should drink it right away because the longer you let it sit, the more time bacteria has time to develop and turn it preciseness. Does anyone know the answer? Could be helpful in a tight spot, and by tight spot, I mean life and death, not a dry mouth and 3 hours away from the nearest water source. :D

Urine is sterile, it is the "part" it comes from that is not sterile, keep it clean, and drink up! (Life or death of course)!
