[pct-l] Second Thoughts on Trail Slushies

[pastafly at hotmail.com (TYVEK wooster)]

actually trail slushees are not all that far off as one might think!!

     last year  while hiking through socal and the snow(baden powell, fuller 
ridge)  i was fortunate enough to have some tang.   fill up water bottle 
with snow, throw in some tang and let it melt for awhile, then shake like a 
snakes tail!!  whaaaala  instant slushee!!     and while i was in mojave i 
purchased a bottle of root beer flavor snow cone syrup and mailed it ahead 
to kennedy meadows.  so i had the dddddeeeelicous treat of root beer snow 
cones through the sierras!!!  yummmmy.


   so it might sound sort of silly but totally doable!   try it out!    you 
wont be sorry.
