Thanks OregonMouse,
Good Idea to take it out of the freezer for a week and see how it smells. I followed the instructions on Sarbar's website for dehydrating it. I really need to get her book too. We were all set to go to Yellowstone in a rental car but with gas prices what they are we decided to fly to Boise instead, and my dad offered to let us use his old pickup to drive to the Sawtooth Wilderness to hike. I'm lucky that both of my parents live near great hiking destinations!
