​It's all so wild, so vast, so empty...of humans that is. 
Truly, I can't fathom why we waited so many years to visit America's 50th state.  So now that we've finally found our way there, I have a feeling our compass will permanently be pointing North.  What I loved most, was being truly apart: from cell phones, from noise, from news...from humans.   The endless forests, rivers of salmon,  immense snow clad mountains, and wildlife, so much wildlife: it was a massage for the soul. 

“Thousands of tired, nerve-shaken, over-civilized people
are beginning to find out, that going to the mountains is going home;
​that wildness is a necessity."      John Muir
