Notă biografică

Comentariile autorului

Over the last couple decades I have watched the Front Range grow by leaps and bounds, and yet a person can now walk freely from the city limits of Fort Collins to the outskirts of Loveland with no worries but rattlesnakes… We live in the West because the horizons appear to go on forever, a constant reminder of a greater mystery beyond us. By walking tracelessly into that forever on foot, we acknowledge the essential value of wild things to a healthy society and to future generations.
