It thinks its own thoughts, it reads its own books, it develops its own hobbies, and it is governed by its own conscience.

Quest for the Best

Quest for the Best
 
One golden day this Autumn was spent with a friend at his cottage by the side of a beautiful, inland lake. From where we sat on the porch of the cottage, the yellows, browns, and scarlets of the Fall foliage, and the green of the pines, were reflected in the quiet lake as in a giant mirror.
 
“I want to tell you my ideal for this cottage,” said my friend. “Here, over a period of years, I plan to gather the best things I find in life. On the walls, I shall hang the best pictures. On the mantel shall be the four or five best books - the books that have meant the most to me in my life. Then, too, I shall frame the few best poems - the ones that have most inspired me. Outside, I shall plant the best flowers, and I shall build birdhouses to attract the best birds. Beside the fire, where I may sit and dream, will be the best and most comfortable chairs I can find. Selecting the best things will be an adventure. It will take a long time. In the end I shall not have many things, just a few, but they will be the best life has to offer me.”
 
A quest for the best - what a hobby that is for a man to have! It is an ideal worth emulating!

Adventurer’s Luck

Adventurer’s Luck
 
Did you ever go a-trapping
Where you knew the fur was plenty,
Where a year ago you could have
Made a bunch of ‘jack’?
Next fall you got in early,
Built your cabin in a hurry, -
Then didn’t even find a weasel track?
 
Did you ever go prospecting

Where the gold was found in millions,
And even every musher
Had made a pile of wealth?
And you worked just like a beaver
Cause you felt you couldn’t leave ’er,
And all you got was badly broken health?
 
Did you ever go a-fishing
When the weather, - it was perfect!
And you gathered up your tackle
And had it fixed just right:
And you whipped the streams and bait-fished
And maybe swore a little,
And then you never even got a bite?
 
Did you ever go a-hunting
When the woods were damp and gloomy,
Where everything was stillness
And everywhere a trail,
And you traveled over ridges,
Through the hollows, round the ledges
And then you never even glimpsed a tail?
 
But such is luck I find it,
And the fellow who stays by it
Will at last succeed and win the day:
Be he trapper, or prospector,
Be he fisherman, or hunter,
I have always found it
That it’s pluck that wins the day.
 
by James W. Whilt
 
James William ‘Jim’ Whilt was born on 8 January 1878 in Benton County, Minnesota, United States of America. In 1900, he moved to Fort Benton, Montana, and became a cowboy. He worked for 30 years in Glacier National Park as a guide, a caretaker, a trapper, and a dude wrangler. There, he recited his poetry for tourists. He eventually became a cowboy poet, known as ‘The Poet of the Rockies.’ He later lived on a ranch in Eureka, Montana. Among his works are “Rhymes of the Rockies” (1922), “Mountain Memories” (1925), a children’s book called “Our Animal Friends of the Wild” (1927), “Giggles from Glacier Guides” (1935), and “Mountain Echoes” (1951). James William ‘Jim’ Whilt passed on at 89 years of age on 10 March 1967 in Kalispell, Montana, United States of America.

Camping and Hiking

​“Earth and Sky, Woods and Fields, Lakes and Rivers, the Mountain and the Sea, are excellent schoolmasters, and teach some of us more than we can ever learn from books.” -John Lubbock (1834 - 1913): “The Use of Life” (1894), chapter IV: ‘Recreation’
 
“I took a walk in the woods and came out taller than the trees.” -Henry David Thoreau (1817 - 1862)
 
For those who have trouble sleeping, researchers say that one week of camping - without electronics - resets our biological body clocks and synchronizes our melatonin hormones with sunrise and sunset.
 
“The purpose of a wilderness journey is not to get from one end of the trail to the other, but to enjoy the landscape, and adapt to its ever-changing moods.” -Bill Mason
 
“It always rains on tents. Rainstorms will travel thousands of miles, against prevailing winds, for the opportunity to rain on a tent.” -Dave Barry (born 1947)
 
“Hiking is a bit like life: The journey only requires you to put one foot in front of the other . . . again and again and again. And if you allow yourself the opportunity to be present throughout the entirety of the trek, you will witness beauty every step of the way, not just at the summit.” -Author Unknown
 
“When you are lost in the woods, the most basic rule of survival is: Never look like food.” -Author Unknown: park ranger advice
Picture
​The great outdoors is now available in your choice of ‘wonderful fresh natural outdoorsy scent’ or the ‘all-new coffee and stew and garlic bread over a campfire aroma’ . . .
 
The International Appalachian Trail is a scenic nature path that extends from Key West, Florida, United States of America north to Belle Isle, Canada (with a ferry ride between the Gaspé Peninsula of Quebec and Newfoundland). But wait, there’s more: there are other trails and proposed extensions of trails, meandering through parts of Europe and Africa, along a path that was once in what are known as the Central Pangean Mountains that existed long ago as part of the continent of Pangea.
 
“I would rather be among forest animals and the sounds of nature, than amongst city traffic and the noise of man.” -Anthony Douglas Williams
 
Fun fact: You can’t run through a campground. You can only ran, because it’s past tents.
 
Backpacking: An extended form of hiking in which people carry double the amount of gear they need for half the distance they planned to go in twice the time it should take.
 
Camping Tips
- Get even with a bear that raided your food bag by kicking his favorite stump apart and eating all the ants.
- Old socks can be made into high fiber beef jerky by smoking them over an open fire.
- A hot rock placed in your sleeping bag will keep your feet warm. A hot grilled cheese sandwich works almost as well, but the cheese sticks between your toes.
- While the Swiss Army Knife has been popular for years, the Swiss Navy Knife has remained largely unheard of. Its single blade functions as a tiny canoe paddle.
- When using a public campground, a tuba placed on your picnic table will keep the campsites on either side vacant.
- Lint from your navel makes a handy fire starter. Warning: Remove lint from navel before applying match.
- You can compress the diameter of your rolled-up sleeping bag by running over it with your car.
- In emergency situations, you can survive in the wilderness by shooting small game with a slingshot made from the elastic waistband of your underwear.
- Check the washing instructions before purchasing any apparel to be worn camping. Buy only those that read, “Beat on a rock beside a stream.”
- Tent stakes come only in the quantity ‘N-1’ where N equals the number of stakes necessary to stake down a tent.
- If you are on a tight budget, you can duplicate the warmth of a down-filled bedroll by climbing into a plastic garbage bag with several geese.

​Intense: Where campers sleep.
 
“Of all the paths you take in life, make sure a few of them are dirt.” -John Muir (1838 - 1914)
 
Sleeping bag: A nap-sack.
 
“May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view. May your mountains rise into and above the clouds.” -Edward Abbey (1927 - 1989)
 
CAMPING
 
Casually strolling through the woods,
Accepting the outdoors as our home,
Mischievous squirrels appearing out of nowhere,
Plenty of fresh air to fill our lungs,
Inviting us to venture out and explore,
Nature’s wonders to see,
God’s handiwork is everywhere around us.
 
by Author Unknown: acrostic
(An acrostic poem or list is one in which the first letters of each line combine to spell a word.)
 
Hiker Ted: Look, the sign reads, “Waterfall - Five Miles.”
Hiker Theo: Wow, that’s pretty big!
 
Overheard: How can it be that one careless match can start a forest fire, but it takes a whole box of matches to start a campfire? The Universe has a funny sense of humor.
 
Did you know that you can go camping without ever making a campfire or using fuel and a cooking stove? You can still have coffee or tea, just use packets of an instant coffee and or tea, and drink the beverages cold. You can eat foods such as beef jerky, nuts and seeds, fruits, and other ready-to-eat foods that you can carry with you.
 
“The outdoors is what you must pass through to get from your apartment to a taxicab.” -Fran Lebowitz (born 1950): as quoted in “Mademoiselle” (1976)
 
One Summer, a father took his son camping for the first time. At every opportunity, he passed along outdoor-survival lore. One day they got lost hiking in the deep woods. He tried the usual tactics to determine direction - moss on the trees (there was none), direction of the Sun (it was an overcast day), and so forth. Just as his son was beginning to panic, the father spotted a small cabin off in the distance. He pulled out his binoculars, studied the cabin, turned in the right direction, and led them right back to camp. “That was amazing,” the son said. “How did you do it?” “Simple,” the father replied. “In this part of the country, all of the satellite television antenna dishes point south.”

​Dog’s best friend is man . . . especially when man takes dog along for a hike!
 
Campers: Nature’s way of feeding mosquitoes.
 
The following are actual statements left on United States Forest Service registration sheets and comment cards by backpackers after completing wilderness camping trips:
- A small deer came into my camp and stole my bag of pickles. Is there a way I can get reimbursed? Please call.
- Escalators would help on steep uphill sections.
- Trails need to be wider so people can walk while holding hands.
- Ban walking sticks in wilderness. Hikers that use walking sticks are more likely to chase animals.
- Trails need to be reconstructed. Please avoid building trails that go uphill.
- Too many bugs and leeches and spiders and spider webs. Please spray the wilderness to rid it of these pests.
- The coyotes made too much noise last night and kept me awake. Please move these annoying animals to another part of the park.
- Reflectors need to be placed on trees every 50 feet so people can hike at night with flashlights.
- Too many rocks in the mountains.
 
“Camping is nature’s way of promoting the motel business.” -Dave Barry (born 1947)
 
You can help keep the wilderness pristine by packing out what you pack into the area. Make sure that every bit of packaging and containers and other material that you bring with you when you go camping or hiking or exploring the great outdoors goes back into your backpack or pocket and is carried with you on your way back out. We can leave the wonders of nature unspoiled by litter and garbage, for the sake of those who will be there after we leave, both humans and animals.
 
“Out-Of-Doors, noun: That part of one’s environment upon which no government has been able to collect taxes. Chiefly useful to inspire poets.” -Ambrose Bierce (Ambrose Gwinnett Bierce (1842 - 1914)): “The Devil’s Dictionary” (1911)
 
Now for your outdoorsy tongue twister: Stalwart Stewart seldom shuns strolling in the sunshine on satisfying September days.
 
“Some national parks have long waiting lists for camping reservations. When you have to wait a year to sleep next to a tree, something is wrong.” -George Carlin (1937 - 2008)
 
Campfire Lights
 
Each campfire lights anew
     The flame of friendship true
The joy we’ve had in knowing you
     Will last our whole life through.
 
And as the embers fade away
     We wish that we might ever stay
But since we cannot have our way
     We’ll come again some other day.

Sea Fever
 
I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky.
     And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by,
And the wheel’s kick and wind’s song and the white sail’s shaking,
     And a grey mist on the sea’s face and a grey dawn breaking.
 
I must go down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide
     Is a wild call and clear a call that may not be denied;
And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying,
     And the flung spray and the blown spume and the sea-gulls crying,
 
I must go down to the seas again to the vagrant gypsy life,
     To the gull’s way and whale’s way where the wind’s like a whetted knife;
And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow-rover,
     And quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick’s over.

The Road Goes Ever On
 
The Road goes ever on and on
     Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
     And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
     Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
     And whither then? I cannot say.
 
by J. R. R. Tolkien
 

John Ronald Reuel Tolkien was born in 1892. He was a South African-born English novelist. John Ronald Reuel Tolkien passed on in 1973.
