[Cdt-l] Fw: Re: Best Burger WAS topics...

[Doug-Sue]

I think it was in south Pass I got a GREAT grilled cheese, shake and fires- about the best ever- and no meat.  I"ve been a veggie person for almost 40 years.  However, I have never been bothered by cattle on the trail- I sort of like the attention with all those faces looking right at me!

  So how DO CDT'ers manage the double entendre of supporting the very industry that has spoiled so much of the landscape along the way? 

  I'll probably soon wear the sear lines of a good grilling here, or the dunce cap of a total killjoy... but one simply wonders over the internal conflict, or lack thereof, when it comes to tacitly supporting the public lands grazing industry. On environmental issues, obviously none of us is free of contradiction in thought or deed. For example, my computer uses lots of copper, yet I'm anti any new mining in southern Arizona's copper belt. And that's ground zero for much of my hiking these days. The computer, though, lets me participate in various forms of activism against mining. So I get to banish some of the guilt in the name of the greater good. 

  But all of that's overthinking, I know, especially in the middle of a 2700 mile walk. Food and hiking are visceral experiences, and we're all descendants of the paleolithic age. Hooray for grass-fed meat. But boo on legal grazing in wilderness areas, nay for feedlot finishing. 

  In general, then, how do we balance the unthinking bliss of the long walk with the higher awareness and purpose it forces upon us in the aftermath?

          The Mangy Moose in Encamment/Riverside, WY.  Man was that good.  It smelled good, it tasted good.  I think it's the best burger I ever had on any trail.  Yeah!

                    Walking the trails are a voyage of discovery. And next time I'm in Steamboat, I plan on discovering the wonders of the Three Z's greasy cheeseburgers....
