Nice Essay. These are really a favorite of mine. Keep them coming.

Great photo essay, informative, inspirational and so on focus.
BTW, since you hiked the PCT in '82, do you or any of your co-thrus have a list of '80's PCT hikers? I have a nearly complete list up to 1979 that I'm constantly revising as new info surfaces. It would be fun to extend it into the '80's.

Very nice addition to BPL's articles. Even after all of these years, his phrasing and insights to the world around us still sound wonderful.
TomApr 17, 2009 at 5:18 am #1494817This is one of my favorite BPL articles to date. Excellent job Chris and much thanks.
Apr 24, 2009 at 9:26 pm #1496871Chris, An interesting article and great quotes. I still recall reading your own long distance hiking exploits from my early days hiking, which were inspiring as well. Someday I'll indulge in a long hike!

It includes the house in which Muir wrote most of his important works and part of the financially successful ranch that allowed him to pursue his interests. (he raised fruit and nuts) Muir is buried nearby. The information can be accessed by Googling John Muir National Historic Site.
