There were a lot fewer people, and there was kind of a range in which to live. You would stay in one area until the food was scarce, then move to another area for awhile and keep doing that periodically. By the time you got back to the first area, years later, it had recovered. Not unlike rotating crops, except we rotated people...the ultimate in innovative living. :-) Regards, Leander, leander_at_worldnet.att.net *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************Received on Fri Oct 01 1999 - 14:51:04 PDT
