sarbar member Registered: 07/15/05 Posts: 1453 Loc: WA	Quote: Is it ever ethical to take "gems on the trail?" Taking these gems, I understand, is not the point of the origninal post. Perhaps leaving them is more to the point. But the idea of "finding a gem" seems to imply fortune to the finder... Nothing wrong with taking photos. I have found crystals on the trail before. Only one have I taken. The rest I left. I don't feel guilty taking glass sea floats. But everything else I leave. _________________________ Freezer Bag Cooking, Trail Cooking, Recipes, Gear and Beyond: www.trailcooking.com
