heck..i hugged a tree on my camping trip

I hope they ask the trees before they hug them!

 

I don't like the idea of mud baths - bit yuk! and I always think of all

those unsavoury germs lurking in the murky depths.

Survey reveals truth to tree-hugging Californian stereotype

 

It is often said that Californians are unfairly stereotyped as

bleeding-heart tree huggers. Turns out it's not true. The " unfairly " part,

that is. A new survey reveals that more than 60 percent of Californians

really have hugged trees, some 24 percent have surfed, and 21 percent think

mud baths are totally rad. A questionnaire compiled by marketing professor

Dennis Tootelian of Cal State, Sacramento, asked 500 folks from five

California cities -- Los Angeles, San Francisco, Fresno, Sacramento, and San

Diego -- about their true nature. Kevin Starr, author and former state

historian, isn't surprised by the findings: " I see tree-hugging as an aspect

of California's greenness. " It's also part of the state's history, he adds,

what with the establishment of Yosemite National Park in the 1860s and the

birth of the Sierra Club in Berkeley under John Muir. " Moved by the state's

natural diversity and grandeur, " Starr says, " Californians have largely been

protective of their state's environment. "

If you go to Sonoma for the mud baths (commonly known as the Pink Palace), the water they use is from hot springs. The mud has to be cooled before it can be used. In its original state it would cook the meat right off your bones. I don't think too many "bugs" survive. In fact, out in Wine Country they have to have special holding tanks to cool off the water before they can irrigate their fields!

DH did landscaping for the Pink Palace and he said the mud dries out and they run in more of the hot springs water. The routine was to fill each stone tub each morning with "new" mud. The "old" mud is sun dried and then rehydrated. Or at least that was the routine when he worked there. You can only use it so many times and then the minerals that are the important ingredients either leach out or loose their effectiveness.

 

DH had to set up the cooling tanks for irrigation at several sites in Sonoma. One school lost a whole football field because they drilled a new well for irrigation and the guy who did the work didn't know about the hot springs. The district had a timer and the irrigation went on and the hot water killed all the grass.

In California, " rad " IS short for " radical, " but it

actually means " cool " or " awesome. " At least it does

in this context and did mostly during the 80's and

90's, though now it has largely fallen out of use.

It's a shame really, since " radical " (in political

terms) means very liberal. But now " radical " is used

synonymously with " extreme, " which goes both

ways--liberal and conservative. And " rad " is mainly

only used by a few " older " surfers. I hope this helps!
