hikermor Geezer in Chief Geezer Registered: 08/26/06 Posts: 7705 Loc: southern Cal	Having dealt with corpses that haven't been devoured by vultures, I am not sure that the vulture route doesn't offer some advantages. In a back country situation, at least the carry out team has a much lighter load to contend with. That will be duly noted and appreciated. Don't get me started..... _________________________ Geezer in Chief
