Dear Pedro, I liked the “Superior Wilderness” article in the June issue. I thought it was cool being so far away from civilization. It is a good thing no one got hurt. I guess it does pay to “be prepared,” since they knew which berries to eat and which to leave along.

I munched on some unripe berries up the Sangre de Cristos years ago, Jonathan, and the memory of that bellyache is still with me. It always pays to be prepared.
