    When I travel I like to get off the beaten path. Did that in Costa Rica one year.

    Ended up eating supper in a true local's diner. Not a single one spoke engligh. Owner had several of those little rat sized deer mounted on the wall. He was real proud. I showed him some pics on my phone and he was almost Stan Potts excited.

    The wild Amazon river forests and watersheds are shrinking fast now. Since googleearth came into being, I have spent way too much time looking that country over. When I first looked, I was convinced all the deforestation noise was typical hippie bullshit, because of the vastness of the place. It didn't take a couple of years to see how fast it was going. Timber, soybeans, cattle. Now they have begun in earnest from the Inca side tearing the river swamps to bare mud hunting gold. It won't take many generations for it to be tamed and "civilized". At least the countries that control it have been proactive in setting large swaths in Parks for the wild peoples that live in there. Hope those cats like running casinos on mud, because we all know what will happen to those Parks once someone says "Thar's gold in them thar swamps"...
