LindenTree3: " Small world, my paddling buddy's daughter and family just moved from there this past year; his son-in-law worked for the NPS at King's Canyon. I kick myself that I never made it out there while they were living there! |

I try to imagine how Muir must have felt when he first saw some of those amazing places. He had no real idea what he was about to witness. I can see how he was so taken by that wilderness. |

“Only by going alone in silence, without baggage, can one truly get into the heart of the wilderness. All other travel is mere dust and hotels and baggage and chatter.” |
