If you're high, the last thing that you're going to forget is food.

Sounds like they were pretty lucky enough to drink from the cleaner streams at the time...

Have to be careful on the politics line here......

Get your mind out of the gutter, Teachahhhhhhh!

Hard candy the type found in the bottom of a purse.... The munchies usually don't hit right away.... (pleading the 5th for the 70's -83 or the Mark McGwire defense)

What did they do with the small foil wrapper..........

They probably fashioned it into a little one-hitter.

Not that I would know anything about that sort of thing. At all.

Wow...this thread has taken an interesting turn.

One hitter? I was thinking about protection & no I don't mean ropes & biners, that would be really weird for the kind of "hiking" they told the authorities they were doing.

Ropes & biners might require a guide, their guide likely should have been Dr. Ruth

To bring it backon track, i don't think of them as hikers any more than I would call jogging two miles on the local rail trail a hike. (I haven't got lost yet)
