Probably going on 15 years ago I hiked the Wonderland trail around Mt Rainier. I was befriended by a Scout Troop and the Scoutmaster who was, shall we say, not your typical scout leader (more of a "biker dude"). Anyway.......we are taking a break and one of the Scouts opens a plastic bag and hands me a piece of Jerky. Truth be told, the dang stuff looked like shoe leather but I didn't want to offend so I took a piece. It was amazing and incredible.

I bumped into them 3 times on the 100 mile trail as they were doing trail work. The last time the Scout leader (we had several evening chats and had become friends) and I met he handed me the last of their Jerky and told me the name......"Stewarts"........he had driven an hour to get it. I was determined to make the stuff last but within several hours it was gone........simply put it is amazing.

Been hanging out on NWhiker forum in preparation for a backpacking trip and someone posted the link to Stewarts......I'm sure that was the name of the place now that I read it again. Anyways, thought I would share it. Check it out, good stuff!
