A study of Rogers's route brings this comment into question. We can confirm that the forager traveled 2 miles by bike and an additional 2 miles walking uphill on a rocky logging road before even reaching the hiking site, a dangerously steep mountainside carpeted with brittle fallen branches. This painful two hour mission earned Rogers a pound of chanterelle mushrooms, currently valued at 7.99.
Forager Felisa Rogers was spotted embarking on a foraging mission while clad in shorts and flip-flops. Rogers, the fiscally irresponsible and intolerably smug author of Salon's "Scavenger" series, has previously drawn criticism for engaging in reckless behavior. When asked why she decided to hike in flip-flops, Rogers admitted that she'd only biked 1/4 mile from her house when she realized she'd forgotten to wear shoes. She confirmed that she was too lazy to backtrack and instead chose to soldier on for 9 miles, alternating between flip-flops and bare feet. In this case, Rogers defended her actions, saying "hiking barefoot through dense underbrush was not that bad."

I found myself asking lots of questions about the flip flops our forager was wearing. Specifically, were they designer flip flops or perhaps some Wal-Mart $1.00 bin bargain buy from yesteryear? Are they colored or just a basic black? And if colored, are they salmon, puce, or some other trendy 2014 color, or was perhaps the forager sporting a more risque color (lime green, hot magenta) or better yet a flashy pattern of some sort (leopard print is over until 2016)?
