Wilderness
... The old west ...
The NY Times article.
...in what may be the most overlooked part of the West — the Big Empty of north-central Idaho.
I drove once until there was no more road, and then hiked, with two of my brothers, until there was no more trail. Like leprechauns at rainbow’s end, we found a deep pool at the base of a waterfall, hard by a grove of ancient cedars. We caught fish until our arms were tired, and then watched the night sky theatrics. There was river music, white noise for sleep. And I promised never to tell the exact location. This was in the upper reaches of the St. Joe River — that’s all I’m able to say. Discuss Wilderness at the Oz Report forum
