Why Wilderness?

[Larry Bartlett]

Hey Y'all, was visiting a Forest Service cabin this past week in SE Alaska. Monsoon rain in the Alexander Archipelago ain't nothin' to envy, but it did lend some time reading old literature from the site by lantern light.

I hope you make time to read this poetic long-forgotten way of writing about our wild places and the emotions expressed by some hearty early adventurers.

Here's a 5-pic snapshot of that article. I know, lighting was bad.

Enjoy!

The message is just as true today as it was then, maybe even more so....

I almost hit the back button after seeing five pages, but I am glad I read it. Made me sad archery season has come and gone, but thankful I still have some gun hunts left.
