"Do
not burn yourself out. Be as I am- a reluctant enthusiast....a part time
crusader, a half-hearted fanatic. Save the other half of yourselves and
your lives for pleasure and adventure. It is not enough to fight for the
West; it is even more important to enjoy it. While you can. While it's
still here. So get out there and hunt and fish and mess around with your
friends, ramble out yonder and explore the forests, encounter the grizz,
climb the mountains, bag the peaks, run the rivers, breathe deep of that
sweet yet lucid air, sit quietly for a while and contemplate the precious
stillness, that lovely, mysterious and awesome space. Enjoy yourselves,
keep the brain in your head firmly attached to the body, the body active
and alive, and I promise you this much; I promise you this one sweet victory
over our enemies, over those deskbound men with their hearts in a safe
deposit box and their eyes hypnotized by desk calculators. I promise you
this: You will outlive the bastards." - Edward Abbey
