I like them, but to drive almost 2 hours in a 3/4 ton truck one way ($60 in gas), spend the whole day (equates to a day against my fishing/hunting allowance ) doesn't seem worth it, when I can buy them for $5 per pound. That, and I'd probably pick the ferns that make you sick by mistake.
I have a friend that is going North next weekend to pick some in the Forks area. I like them, but to drive almost 2 hours in a 3/4 ton truck one way ($60 in gas), spend the whole day (equates to a day against my fishing/hunting allowance ) doesn't seem worth it, when I can buy them for $5 per pound. That, and I'd probably pick the ferns that make you sick by mistake. That said, I can't wait for steak tips, grilled potatoes, grilled onion, and fresh fiddleheads. If you've never tried it, my favorite way to eat a Vidalia onion, cut a hole in the end of the onion, about half way down and an inch across, put in a dab of butter, a beef bullion cube, another dab of butter, wrap in tin foil, and put on grill (medium heat) for 30 minutes. literally melts in your mouth.
