Goldilocks? Red Riding Hood? Hansel? Gretel? Anyone?


Not long ago, I took this photo on a hike in the Santa Fe National Forest a few miles from our home. We've had heavy rains here, and the the forest is so green and lush, it was like the beginning of every fairy tale I ever loved. However, I didn't run into any bears or big, bad wolves. Just a couple deer. And a chipmunk.

Pretty picture! Watch out, though. Those chipmunks can be brutal.

It was a very robust chipmunk.

Do ya need a little red cape with hood for future adventures such as this? I can be pretty handy with the sewing machine. I'd love to create the ultimate hiking cape--pockets for knives, guns and ammo, binoculors, kindling, matches in a waterproof container, canteen, flask, etc. Maybe even a little tent?

Missa, I LOVE the idea of the Red Riding Hood Survival Cape. "Knives, guns, and ammo"? Now, THAT'S a basket of goodies. And the Professor would look like such a cute little wood nymph in one.

"Hey, wait a damn minute!" says Chippy Chipmunk. "What is all this talk of survival capes and guns and shit? All I gots is these crazy little teeth and a claw or two. If you really think you're tough let's get it on mano y mano....."

I think you should get an I-70 cape -- one that carries fireworks, beer, and ammo.
