[at-l] Dehydrator Trays

[atrailhiker at adelphia.net (Marsha)]

25 lbs.?  Did you say 25 lbs.? Oh, please share with me what you have in
that pack-I cannot get mine below 30.
The last turtle I tried to help had a very long neck-kept trying to bite me.
Stubborn old thing. I had to sit there and wait for her to move across the
dirt road so I could get by-she weighed a lot too.

> Sunday I made three different kinds of slaw to dehydrate (recipes can be
found at:  http://backpacker.com/technique/article/0,1026,2687,00.html

> This morning I plugged in the new-to-me (bought used) dehydrator and had
it warm up, start to smoke, and die.  I started the dehydration going on
cookies sheets in the oven (temp about 140 ?).  Now I'm wondering it I could
put the trays in the oven and thus get better drying.  It kills my
ecological conscience to be running the oven with the door open 2 inches
while simultaneously running the air conditioning.

> Has anyone tried putting plastic dehydrator trays in the oven?????  I sure
hate to throw out three perfectly good salads.

> (Oh, yeah, and yesterday I left the house at 7:00 p.m. to drive the 7
minutes to the FT so I could hike an hour with my 25-lb backpack.  Stopped
to rescue a turtle (slider) crossing the road.  When I got back in the car;
it wouldn't start again.
> Waited 1.5 hours for the AAA tow truck.  Only hiking done was pacing the
sidewalk.
