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? <br>
<br>
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. <br>
<br>
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. <br>
<br>
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?<br>

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....<br>
