There must be two of these days a year. It seems I remember the last one, and I haven't been around here that long.

Ugh. Can't stand that junk.

Ugh. Can't stand that junk.

I wonder how many hikers buy it because of the name and now many hosts wouldn't put it in the candy dish for guests, because its for the trail? It looks a like like nuts, raisins, and M&Ms to me.

I've never seen trail mix with M&M's

I've never seen trail mix with M&M's

Only in America.

I think it was "invented" back in the 60s by a Calif surfer who called it GORP - Good Ol' Raisins and Peanuts - and a surfer buddy of his immediately added the M&Ms. To which the first surfer said, "Pura Vida, Dude!" and gave the shaka sign.

It's still called GORP around here, no matter what kind of mix it is....except for Chex Mix. That's always Chex Mix.
