Leslie What
“It was like hiking into a Hemingway story; everything was sepia-toned and bristling with subtext.”
Leslie What, Crazy Love

Aldo Leopold
“Wilderness areas are first of all a series of sanctuaries for the primitive arts of wilderness travel, especially canoeing and packing. I suppose some will wish to debate whether it is important to keep these primitive arts alive. I shall not debate it. Either you know it in your bones, or you are very, very old.”
Aldo Leopold, A Sand County Almanac and Sketches Here and There
