The Air was perfectly delicious, sweet enough for the breath of angels. Every draught of it gave a separate and distinct piece of pleasure. I do not believe that Adam and Eve tasted better in their balmiest nook."

John Muir (Letters to a Friend)

"There can be nothing in the world more beautiful than the Yosemite, the groves of the giant sequoias and redwoods, the Canyon of the Colorado, the Canyon of the Yellowstone, the Three Tetons; and our people should see to it that they are preserved for their children and their children's children forever, with their majestic beauty all unmarred."

Theodore Roosevelt

My own Observations:

D.Howe

Being outdoors brings an exhilaration that I cannot explain fresh air, grand forest, wildlife busy scurrying about not just surviving but being alive and enjoying the struggle of life. Ever since man gained consciousness he has longed to return to were he began the land the sea and most of all the struggle of living were true joy is found!

Awakening to the continual roiling of the stream nearby, my eyes
open from nights sleep in this outdoor paradise, pulling my boots on and stepping into a new day.
Cool inviting and fraught with opportunity, I am ready for this days adventure and
the sun as yet to touch the ground.

"The trail seemed to disappear before our very eyes, as we walked into the unknown wilderness, fearful, excited and yet comforted in the thought we are with our mother earth"

Returning to base camp, I find myself wanting again to leave to explore one more corner of the world, my body says I have had my fill for today and I must rest my tired bones, but my mind burns with hunger for more"
