[at-l] Yo Mud Butt!

[nealb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (William Neal)]

While hiking through the Smokies -- a day hike.  I came across a mother
urging her hesitant daughter to feed the cute bear a sandwich: It must have
been full because it stayed on the other side of the stream.  She actually
acted upset when I told her that the bear did not know where the sandwich
started and her daughter began.  To the bear it was all food.

Sigh....

Say what? A thru hiker with extra food? Sounds like someone on a short
section hike.
