When the cities are gone...and all the ruckus has died away, when sunflowers push up through the concrete and asphalt of forgotten interstate freeways, when the Kremlin and the Pentagon are turned into nursing homes for generals, presidents and other such shitheads, when the glass-aluminum skyscraper tombs of Phoenix, Arizona barely show above the sand dunes, why then, why then, why then by God maybe freemen and wildwomen on horses, free women and wild men can roam the sagebrush canyonlands in freedom--goddamit! Herding the feral cattle into box canyons, and gorge on bloody meat and bleeding ....... internal organs, and dance all night to the music of fiddles! Banjos! Steel guitars! by the light of the reborn moon!--by God--Yes!

"Liked" with reservations. Don't like my mountains too high. One or two thousand feet above the rest of the land is enough to get a view...

Dogs are excellent judges of character, this fact goes a long way toward explaining why some people don't like being around them. -
A couple of my favorite quotes from John Muir:
“The mountains are calling and I must go.”
"Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop away from you like the leaves of Autumn.”
“In every walk with Nature one receives far more than he seeks.”
“Between every two pines is a doorway to a new world.” ― John Muir"Dazed and Confused"

“Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”

Two of my mantras;
Slow progress is still progress.
Determination determines success.
When the constant going up stops me in my tracks, I tell myself,"Self, if you are not moving you are not getting anywhere." So I try to keep moving , even if it's only inches at a time. You can tell you are getting to the summit when you can see the sky thru all the trees when you are looking up.
I like Seldom Seen Smith more than Hayduke. Maybe because he's a Morman? He's definitely a survivalist. -

Have you seen the movie "Constipation"?
It hasn't come out yet.

5 Ways to Feel More Accomplished Every Day
learning-mind.com/5-ways-to-fe…e-accomplished-every-day/
We are truly our own worst critic. Why? When we set standards, often we will personally exceed them, without giving much notice to it all. That is the wrong way to approach situations and life, in general. You owe it to yourself to be truly happy and feel accomplished every day, and it starts with recognizing your achievements and valuing yourself.
1. Realize How Far You Have Come
No matter what your situation entails, you have always come from a different place. From a personality, mentality, to even a physical change. If you are happy with the results, be proud that you have made these efforts to improve. No one else will be able to change you; you did that for you. Own it, be proud of it and keep growing.
2. Appreciate Your Thoughts
When we get older, many times our thoughts are considered void of reason, or perhaps they are not even voiced at all. Always contribute your thoughts, especially if you are in a group, chances are there are many that have the same thoughts as you but are unwilling to voice them. Your input matters.
3. Appreciate Yourself
You are strong, you can get through any situation, and you are a survivor. If no one has told you that lately, you just heard it from me. Love who you are, and confidence, which is your best outfit, will radiate from you. If you are unhappy with something about yourself, before you try to change it, learn to appreciate it. From the flabby arms, untamed hair to even that slouch, understand that it is what makes you, you. When you are changing it, you are changing you. Will you be happier with the person you become?
4. You Have Stability
Being able to call a place home is something many people struggle to do. Keeping a job, food on the table, or even out of trouble is something that plagues the world. Life is getting harder just to scrape by. If you can keep those things, you are building a base for stability. While it may seem like a funny word, something that can be forgotten about until a later time, not having it makes you vulnerable to negative thoughts. Negative thoughts breed negative emotions, which brings about adverse situations. To combat that, get stability in your life, make the changes that are needed to accomplish that.
5. Value Your Self-Worth
You are worth so much more than you give yourself credit for. From the time you were a kid, you must have helped someone, gave someone a laugh, or even became a conversation starter. Give yourself more credit, you are incredibly powerful. A single action today can impact a life, and make their life better if you help them today. You can be the change that you want to see in the world! Knowing who you are and being proud of your accomplishments is something everyone needs to do. While you do not need to parade around your 5th-grade science award, you can help other celebrate their achievements. Happiness is a strange and beautiful emotion. It is all or nothing – staying happy is easy, it is obtaining it that is the trick.its all good
