It was ten years ago. My wife at the time and two teachers from the school where I worked in Argentina were doing some lengthy backpacking in the Argentine Andes. We came to an impasse we could not get around, a huge snow fall. We elected to attempt another route down a small canyon cut in two by a creek. It was a tremendous mistake, one that should have cost four lives. We became trapped for two days in bamboo. And this was after one of the tents collapsed and a tremendous week-long rainstorm fell upon us. To this day I remember that bamboo. We called it ‘damnboo.’ I hate it. I really hate it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22301740.post-430478903911882302008-03-24T08:26:00.000-07:002008-03-24T08:26:00.000-07:00There is a nice botanical garden in North County, ...There is a nice botanical garden in North County, I can't remember its name, that has just about every kind of bamboo imaginable.
