Obama the llama

Fixing forest trails has some unique problems.  As you work on a trail you get farther and farther from where you started.  So at the end of the day you have to hike back to the truck.  On the first day this works fine.  It might work on the second day, but on the third day you spend more time hiking than working on the trail.  At some point it is impossible because you will spend half a day hiking to where you would work and you would need half a day to hike back, so there is no time for work.

Part of the answer might be to pack in and stay overnight.  Well this creates a problem because you need to carry a lot of stuff.  This where a Lama comes in. We have not yet procured a Llama, but when we do we will name him Obama the llama.  Fortunately we are Democrats so we will be able to work with Obama.  If we do encounter Republicans on the trail with Obama the llama they will surely try to keep us from getting anything done.

Once upon a time The Commander and Kadizzle were hiking in Utah in a wonderful steep trail.  We encountered a hiker using a llama as a pack animal.  In fact the fellow told us you could rent a llama, which he had done.  Kadizzle was amazed how easily the llama could go up over steep rocky terrain.

Perhaps Kadizzle should start a llama rental service.  Now that Kadizzle reviews his llama memory he remembers his older sister took a backpacking deluxe trip .   All she had to do with her husband was hike.  The gourmet llama hike took care of the rest.  When they go to the destination the llama packing outfit set up a tent and cooked a wonderful meal.  Mentioning this whole scheme to the Forest Service they noted that llamas will eat just about anything.  This means they will get great milage.

So if you see two people hiking down the trail it may be us and Obama the llama.  If you are Donald Trump you can claim our llama Obama was born in Kenya, but it will do very little good with most people.  They will know their are no llamas born in Kenya, but the Fox News watchers will be certain Obama the llama was born in Kenya.   Llamas have a weird way of kneeling down when the rest.  Naturally Republicans will see this as Obama the llama doing Muslim prayers.  The good news is when people come back from encountering us on the trail and claim they met Obama the llama people will think they are goofy.  If they are going to vote for Trump or Cruz it will all at up to the casual observer.
