There is no national park that begins with the letter Q. However, there are quotes that relate to the outdoors. At the start of each of my chapters in Our Life on the Road, I include a quote to set the tone. Some of my favorites come from John Muir.
"Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in, where nature may heal and give strength to body and soul alike."
"I only went out for a walk and finally concluded to stay out till sundown, for going out, I found, was really going in."
"Only by going alone in silence, without baggage, can one truly get into the heart of the wilderness. All other travel is mere dust and hotels and baggage and chatter."

But I like hotels...
ReplyDeleteNo Q park? Doesn't surprise me.
I like that first one.
ReplyDeletehe is not dissing hotels, he is just saying they are not the heart of the wilderness
