And the are also great cow repellants. In '95, my wife and I camped beside
the trail just across Elk Garden before the ascent of Mt. Rogers - in the
morning as it started to rain, we were totally surrounded by 10 quite large
Angus cows, who we feared were going to crush us in our tent! Nothing would
make them move until I clacked my Leki poles together - they immediately
turned and headed down the trail. Maybe I should sell these to farmers?
