While we all use motorized transport to get to places it is important to slowdown and remember that not everyplace has to be reachable by car, or bike, or horseback or even foot. Some places should just remain wild and free from human intrusion all together. And I will be the first to admit to sometimes being guilty of rushing somewhere because I want to get to THAT place.

"At some point we must draw a line across the ground of our home and our being, drive a spear into the land and say to the bulldozers, earthmovers, government and corporations, “thus far and no further.” If we do not, we shall later feel, instead of pride, the regret of Thoreau, that good but overly-bookish man, who wrote, near the end of his life, “If I repent of anything it is likely to be my good behaviour."

I’ve been hearing about this bench that had a Edward Abbey quote on it for sometime. I also thought it was time to put the quote out there in a different way. The whereabouts were just how I like it, VAGUE!! It took 2 different days and a few trails. It wasn’t easy to find, but we’ll worth the view, especially after some rain. “May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing views. May your mountains rise into and above the clouds.” I did stay on the bench for some time. I couldn’t leave.
