Every journey begins with that first single step! One of the great comforts for me in these past years was being able to read aloud to my husband all the journals with pictures that I kept every time we donned our boots and packs or simply returned at Christmas or Thanksgiving to enjoy the solitude and beauty of the Valley after the first snowstorms of the season. If you do not own a copy of John Muir's book, try to find the Sierra Club Books paperback 1968, GENTLE WILDERNESS THE SIERRA NEVADA. Muir concluded:" These beautiful days must enrich all my life. They do not exist as mere pictures......but they saturate themselves into every part of the body and live always. Here ends my forever memorable first High Sierra excursion. I have crossed the Range of Light, surely the brightest and best of all the Lord has built: and rejoicing in its glory. I gladly, gratefully, hopefully pray I may see it again." In 1911, he dedicated My First Summer in the Sierra to the members of the Sierra Club which he had founded in 1892.
