Switchback replies:  So true.  Now that Birthday Boy Reinhold is 70, I think we should capture him out on the JMT and auction him off to the Indians.  He should be easy to catch, but we will probably not get too much for him.  He is scrawny and not much meat on him.  Now me, I have lots of meat and mountainman muscle.  But the Paiute and Digger Indians like me and consider me a legend in the Sierras and a brother on the trail.
