loved many of these pictures, but can't believe he let a chipmunk "help
clean out his mug"- which was crusted with glop. Don't let wildlife
get your food- they will no longer be wild. Also, he clearly had moved
a rock just to see what was underneath. Many of these alpine areas are
very sensitive and have a low tolerance to disturbance. I think
handling herps probably stresses them out, but I'm a LNT freak when it
comes to the wilderness biosphere (I try to avoid stepping on lichen
when possible- they grow 1 mm per year). But seriously, this is basic
stuff here.<br><br>Done ranting,<br>Wasa<br>PCT 08</td></tr></table><br>
