What drives us to the outdoors? For some it is the quest for solitude or a means to disappear from our troubles. For others it is sport or adventure or freedom from the distractions of modernity. Still others long to commune with the earth and her creatures and even the memory of those who walked the paths before us. All wanderers with hearts and minds and eyes open are met with wonder and amazement. This is Mother Nature’s promise to us. Nearly as powerful as the experience of actually being outside is entering the world as it comes to us from the imaginations of writers.
