I am glad that I did. I think I may be a misplaced hippie since I long for the beauty and silence of the mountains and forests of this great land of ours.

When we are finally able to get out your way again, let's do that valley hike.

I'm inspired by his passion and persistence, not to mention simple physical conditioning, and grateful for the legacy he and folks like Ansel Adams have left us. Having climbed to to top of many trees in my youth, I can imagine climbing as he did, to the top of a great evergreen, and hanging on for dear life as a storm sways the tree back and forth, lashing with wind and rain, feeling the power and knowing the creator. One of these days we'll have to head to the great valley together and hike a bit.Jim Stewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09300773668401921098noreply@blogger.com
