<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS">Wheeeeew writes: </FONT>Actually, I was thinking the same thing about people. If you spread them out in their natural habitat, instead of stacking them all on top of each other in the non-sustainable, over-populated, heavily polluted cities, I doubt there'd be enough "natural habitat" to sustain us. So who wants to volunteer to go first??? Sorry folks, there's just too many of us. Open season.......!!!!!</DIV>

<DIV>Switchback replies: I hope you are not thinking of starting with Trail Pirates. I know a lot of hikers who would do that, but I figure you are my pal and would not. Say, I heard one time that there are more deer, bears, and trees in the continental US than there were when the colonist came over here from the old world. </DIV>

<DIV>I think I could buy the first two, but I don't know about trees. I think this might be true in the Sierras, since we control fires and trees have taken over so many of the old open areas/meadows. When they compare current pictures of different areas to the pictures of 100 years ago, trees are like weeds. I noticed this too in AZ going up for the 12,633 foot Mt. Humphrey expedition. Driving up to the parking lot, I noticed how the trees looked like weeds growing near the road. Sad how we screw things up for our human standards instead of Mother Nature's.<BR></DIV>
