"The brave, sweet, heartbreaking beauty of all wild and lonely things . . ." Edward Abbey (Mary Jane Falls and cascade on Professor Creek, near Moab, UT, August 31, 2019) "The more thrilling, wonderful divine objects I behold in a day, the more expanded and immortal I become." Henry David Thoreau (Rosy Paintbrush and Indian Paintbrush, American Lakes Basin, Never Summer Range, CO, August, 2019) "The land belongs to them that love it." Edward Abbey (Juniper and Skyline Arch, Arches National Park, UT, August 30, 2019) "I love the glorious host of mountain forms, whose beauty forms so great a part of a terrestrial human soul . . ." John Muir "The Contemplative John Muir' (Lake of Glass, Rocky Mountain National Park, CO, September 6, 2019) "The life of adventure is the only life that makes sense.
