Carrots and Safety













Something went wrong with the carrots. They were not expecting to be left in the oven all night, but that's what happened. It wasn't anybody's fault. Well, maybe Beth forgot them...

In case something goes terribly wrong on our hike, if we desperately need help and we can't get out of the wilderness ourselves, we'll have one of these with us:



This Personal Location Beacon, when activated, will transmit our GPS coordinates to a satellite network used for search and rescue.

I don't mean to make light of the safety issue. It will be comforting to know that if we're off the main trail and something goes wrong we'll be able to call for help.

These devices have recently been getting smaller and lighter--the one we bought was released a couple of months ago. Only 5 1/2 oz.

More detail here.
