Last year for Thanksgiving, our little family hiked into Bagby.  We wanted to be surrounded by what we were truly thankful for--our beautiful planet.  We warmed jars of mashed potatoes in buckets of hot water and ate our meal naked in the tubs.  It was perfect.  We, like so many others, know how to respect such a beautiful and precious place.  I would hate to see Bagby become sterile and normal.
