Guest guest Posted September 11, 2006 Report Posted September 11, 2006 Hi Matt, Awesome! I thoroughly enjoyed your post. I do hikes like that too - although our altitudes locally here aren't much above sea level. Every time I go out to Red Rocks Canyon or hike down into the Hot Springs here I am awestruck by beauty - in all seasons - yes, even in the rain! Nature never ceases to surprize me in many ways - it " opens " my eyes, " clears " my head, and allows me to focus on simplicity and peace. If you haven't had the opportunity to connect with and/or read his book, let me know. You guys have alot in common. Keep hiking and keep that attitude of gratitude! ~ Gretchen Quote
Guest guest Posted September 12, 2006 Report Posted September 12, 2006 Oh, Matt, you bring tears to my eyes. We used to live 20 minutes from Timpanogos, and I miss the area terribly. Now we live in a city with some ravines, but I don't trust the people in the area (too much gun violence, even though guns are illegal here!), so I don't go out walking or riding my bike. We never hiked up to the peak (my daughter couldn't have handled that), but I used to love to go up the paved trail to the cave, and when we came back down, to hang out near the rushing water. Thanks for the memories! Quote
Guest guest Posted September 12, 2006 Report Posted September 12, 2006 Gretchen, I think I read a post or saw a website about him around a year ago. If I remember right he was from California-is that right? I have never talked to him or read his book. I would like more info if you don't mind. Matt Quote
