Back in my Boy Scout days I had some mountain goat in me but no more. These days I’m not as sure footed. Now I’m a terra firma kind of guy.

Although I'm a mountain girl in a past life, I would still get squeamish taking that dirt road down. It wasn't much more than two ruts in the hill. I took my kids up about five years ago and they had a blast. I was eyeing my lack of cell phone bars and praying we'd come out of the other side alive.

Some years ago John McPhee (a great writer about almost anything, but especially the outdoors) wrote a piece about a biologist in Georgia who specialized in analyzing road kill. Not being the kind of person who believed in waste, he cooked and ate the fresh stuff. According to McPhee (who also took a trip down the Susquehanna river with Euell Gibbons eating nothing but what they found streamside), the food was tasty, nutritious, and fresh. Also, think about that great bluegrass tune "Five Pound Possum" in which the driver runs down a possum by roadside in order to feed her family. Best version, twelve year old Katie Wilson of the Wilson Family Band. I like Indie's style. - Ted Your sqeamishness with regard to food is probably your loss.
