Campers:
So, not having cable TV, a couple of backcountry rangers of Sequoia Kings have been amusing themselves over the last 8 years by putting a stuffed sheep out on the trail in June with a note that it needs to return by September to Crabtree RS. It's got a notebook and people write of the travels and random thoughts. Over the years, sheep has been singed by campfires and lost an ear (kindly replaced by a red bandana by someone). But Sheep always came home. Sheep went out on the trail June of '08 and was never seen again. Oh woe is us.
So, if anyone sees a wintered-over stuffed sheep, probably a little worse for wear... -- on your travels this summer, get word to me or to the Crabtree RS.
