"15 pages in and there has already been an Ed Abbey and Wallace Stegner reference, a cross country ski at Bryce Canyon, a trip to Timpanogos, and a history of Tenaya Lake's naming. Beautifully woven and spiced with insight about the importance of parks, it's so refreshing to read something that isn't a news article on Facebook." — Jan 25, 2017 07:18AM

“It is not our part to master all the tides of the world, but to do what is in us for the succour of those years wherein we are set, uprooting the evil in the fields that we know, so that those who live after may have clean earth to till. What weather they shall have is not ours to rule.”

“Saying 'I notice you're a nerd' is like saying, 'Hey, I notice that you'd rather be intelligent than be stupid, that you'd rather be thoughtful than be vapid, that you believe that there are things that matter more than the arrest record of Lindsay Lohan. Why is that?' In fact, it seems to me that most contemporary insults are pretty lame. Even 'lame' is kind of lame. Saying 'You're lame' is like saying 'You walk with a limp.' Yeah, whatever, so does 50 Cent, and he's done all right for himself.”
