Hi Neil,
Interested in the split pea mix.
Cooked it from Campo to Manning Park.
But it's got to be flaked, not in powder form.
If so, I offer to buy it for $40.
Let me know and I'll send you a check.

I, too, had heard they were going out. So, my pocket composer is extinct
and won't work in any event? Too bad, I enjoyed using it. It was a great
device.

Pocketmail is still in business. Looks like the acoustic modem device is
gone, replaced by a wifi device.

I'm pretty sure Pocketmail went out of business.

A wolf from NE Oregon has been spotted in Western Oregon, so had to cross
the PCT to get there...
Experts say if this tagged one made it other untagged ones most likely
have too...

How delightful. I've loved backpacking with wolves around -- in Alaska and
in Canada. Here's hoping they establish themselves in the Cascades again.
Yay.
Cheers,

A dream to have grizz on the PCT -- or back here in Colorado again. *sigh*
:-)
Of course, some folks would howl about it -- but I never felt entitled to
the wilderness or the wilds as a kind of picturesque safe & sound
playground. I like my wilds with teeth in it. And I get along fine that
way.

Say Charles,
I LIKE MY WOMEN THAT WAY.
I don't about the grizz.....those flesh eating, hiker stalking beasts
have big teeth and long claws and have been known to eat a hiker or two.

Oh, I don't know, Herr Metzger. I think statistically grizz and wolves
can't hold a candle to men and women relating badly badly when it comes to
their life-disemboweling potential. In fact, I thought you were referring
to men and/or women when you said: "those flesh-eating, hiker-stalking
beasts have big teeth and long claws and have been known to eat a hiker or
two."
But hey, one or two hikers in a season or a decade is a statistical
irrelevance when it comes to grizz. Driving to the trailhead we are running
a 1 in 458 chance of a fatal collision -- as we do each time we hitchhike
into town for resupply. Once we're in grizz territory we have a 1 in 50,000
chance of even getting (at most) a dirty look from grizz. This is, of
course, in stark contrast to the chances a grizzled hiker such as yourself
might have, say, along the PCT at a bar in a re-supply town snuffling
around for the evening's prey. Lots of dirty looks that night, one might
imagine. And the danger of a fatality might be higher than you think.
Caveat grizzler.
Cheers,
Charles & the Boys,
Your trail companions-to-be in 2012, who get along fine with carnivores,
omnivores, herbivores, piscivores, fructivores, insectivores, and
freeze-dried-ivores of nearly all stripes.
