Huckleberries and Sin

One of my favorite things about living in Idaho is huckleberry picking. Now, for those of you who have never experienced huckleberry picking the most important thing to remember is this....never (and I mean NEVER) disclose the exact location of your "honey hole"...ever... 


...Be vague, keep a straight face and lie through your teeth. It's kind of like a Christmas lie so you are absolved from all sin...sort of...I think...



...But, if you are discovered...keep your head low, no eye contact and above all else.... hide your hands.  Huckleberries stain your hands so if someone does come along and ask, "Hey, what are you doing?" You're pretty much busted. This is where the part about being vague comes in... act as if your "honey hole" is miles from your current location and quickly turn the tables by asking them what they're doing?!...


 ...they'll probably be vague...

P.S. All's fair in love and huckleberries...may your "honey hole" be plentiful!
