And I really appreciate your efforts to convey the scope and majesty of that place, and your honest admission of the futility of the task, although I think you do a pretty good job. Your humility in the face of the endeavor is part of the reason.<br /><br />It's always tempting to wonder about the significance of wilderness, and point out the political dimensions of wilderness. There are people in public office right now who want to sell all that off, either exploit and spoil it or make it someone's private reserve, entry to you and I not permitted.<br /><br />I'd temper that by pointing out that a minority of Americans ever see such places -- I sometimes joke that if you visit a wilderness area in New Mexico the parking lot is full of Volvo station wagons -- which is true, but I'd point out that if we were a nation really concerned about each others' well being, instead of demonizing our teachers and cutting funds for schools, a public education would be expanded, to include long trips to places like that, so we'd all get to experience that sense of wonderment, and we'd all be pondering the significance of places like that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2374808830322685957.post-52198845481126752015-04-09T11:10:58.635-06:002015-04-09T11:10:58.635-06:00No he died when I was a child.

A lovely idea and something I would love to do in places I have been to. <br /><br />What great sightings you had. It seems like it was worth the long trip there. I would have been thrilled with the bear and her cubs.<br /><br />I am definitely NOT going to comment on the marmot/Barbot saga. LOL!!<br /><br />I can see where the Zebra Mountains got their name.<br /><br />A wonderful post.
