By Scott Keith –

I don’t have a post this week, as Joy and I are in the wilds of King’ Canyon and Sequoia National Park. You’ll have to make due with these quotes and look forward to an update next week.

“We simply need that wild country available to us, even if we never do more than drive to its edge and look in. For it can be a means of reassuring ourselves of our sanity as creatures, a part of the geography of hope.”

– Wallace Stegner, 1960.

“Keep close to Nature’s heart… and break clear away, once in a while, and climb a mountain or spend a week in the woods. Wash your spirit clean.”

– John Muir, 1910
