> I swear this is true and it IS trail related.  Because I have a septic
tank, I am very careful what I put down the garbage disposal, usually
peeling things into the sink and tranferring the peelings to the trash.  One
day I somehow managed to throw out the strainer/stopper along with the
peelings.   Before I could get to Home Depot, my hiking significant other at
the time took an exploratory day hike and brought me a strainer/stopper he
found in one of the very few FT shelters.  It fit my sink. Why would someone
have carried a strainer/stopper to a shelter????? I would have to call this
karma.

As a lean-to maintainer I often wondered at the things people would carry 7
miles into the woods and leave at the shelter but I have to admit I never
found a sink strainer/stopper. That one gets the prize.
