[pct-l] Mt Whitney permit

[Bob Bankhead]

Attention Dicentra:

Peggy has discovered an old thru-hiker trail recipe; fillet of marmot,
wrapped in rattlesnake, skewered on a Leki trekking pole, seasoned with
trailside thyme and green onions, and slow-cooked over a case of Esbit
tablets. Can anyone recommend a nice wine to go with that?

I've wondered what marmots taste like myself.  When I thru-hiked the JMT, we
were low on food after VVR (going southbound) and the marmots on top of
Forester Pass were really friendly - got within a foot of us several times -
and they were big and fat.  We debated getting one with a hiking pole, but
concluded that we didn't have enough fuel left to cook it.  Before I bring
in a bunch of comments, it wasn't a very serious debate!
