Touching the Wild UP

by John Highlen

Just like with people, connections with our natural world are made through personal contact. Being a lifelong lover of the outdoors, especially wild places, John Highlen has a tendency for mingling with nature in a variety of fashions. Across the seasons, through backyard surprises, extended wilderness treks, exploring Lake Superior by kayak, scaling vertical ice formations, building a rustic log cabin, or simply taking a hike. This book is a collection of adventures from the author's close and personal contact with the wilds of Michigan's Upper Peninsula.

Would like to read more about John’s conservation teachings and efforts. The book overall made me nostalgic for my grandparents’ house in Chassell right on Portage, as well as my childhood home in Oakland County in the woods where I grew up touching wild.
