Now, if these are Chocolate chips they might provide some energy for AT 
hikers.  If they are wooden perhaps they could be saved for campfires or wood 
stoves.  If they are paint chips perhaps enough can be gathered to decorate the 
shelters along the trail.  What colors would be chosen?  Of course if they are 
Cow chips then either fertilization of the poison ivy or stinging nettles along 
the AT could be encouraged to hold down the crowds that creep along the trail. 
 I know that the Indians used these for their fires but would the odor be 
enough to mask the regular hiker aroma that we have all come to enjoy?  Chips -- 
what kind were they?  Inquiring minds want to know.
