"Going to the mountains is going home." John Muir
. . . "To him who has once tasted the reckless independence, the haughty self-reliance, the sense of irresponsible freedom, which the forest life engenders, civilization thenceforth seems flat and stale. Its pleasures are insipid, its pursuits wearisome, its conventionalities, duties, and mutual dependence alike tedious and disgusting. The entrapped wanderer grows fierce and restless, and pants for breathing-room. His path, it is true, was choked with difficulties, but his body and soul were hardened to meet them; it was beset with dangers, but these were the very spice of his life, gladdening his heart with exulting self-confidence, and sending the blood through his veins with a livelier current. The wilderness, rough, harsh, and inexorable, has charms more potent in their seductive influence than all the lures of luxury and sloth. And often he on whom it has cast its magic finds no heart to dissolve the spell, and remains a wanderer and an Ishmaelite to the hour of his death."..............Francis Parkman

Where's the deck?
ReplyDeleteMy girlfriends dad, Charles Veach from lexington, NC built that cabin, He has two up there in the Gospel. Lives out there 2 months outta the year.
ReplyDeleteI have made this picture my computer's background screen so I see it every time I turn my computer on.
ReplyDeleteTo me it captures the haunting beauty and loneliness of the Idaho wilderness.
The beauty is seductive.
It is a great picture!
It is so sad that the solitude and beauty of this area has been spoiled by all the building going on. I don't think you can even get to Hump Lake anymore....the last time I was there no trespassing signs were everywhere....
ReplyDeleteTruly sad that a few private landowners have been able build on and cut off so much of this wonderful area. No-trespassing signs in the wilderness make me sick.
