Wilderness
Places
that are untouched as such, uncivilized, and the way they are
meant to be. We think of wilderness as only being in the mountains,
but it is anywhere the land has room to breath and exist as
it needs to exist for the sake of all it supports, to allow
the land to grow and remind us of what is at stake.


Solo
Hike
The
dry creek bed, a dry winter, yet still life blooms. It's amazing
that in a year with so little water, the trees and plants and
birds and insects at least appear to be thriving.
I
was so glad to at last have silence on the trail to be able
to truly listen and to not look at my feet all the time.


Most
interesting things
-the
plant near the trail that looked like it had a fractal design
-the
cave and marble in the middle of the Sierras
-
the smell of wild ginger
-the
disappearance of a stream in 10 days
-
all of the growth along the trail; the difference in hiking
less popular areas
