Too Many Cookies


Glacier National Park, July 1973. We set out to take only short hike. We packed no sack lunches; we carried only a bag of Fig Newtons. We wandered for hours, and I ate most of the cookies.

Also: (1) I am holding a plastic bottle of baby oil. Foolish, fair-skinned teen! (2) I have a nose guard clipped to my sunglasses. Ha!

I believe it's the Air Force manual that mentions Fig Newtons as survival rations.

I used to love them, but I haven't eaten one since 1973.

It is very much a kid thing.
