Want to Read $ 4.99"There are some wild places across our nation's public lands that physically move you, creating a tightening in the chest, a loss of breath, or a tingling along the spine."-Mark Kenyon, That Wild Country: An Epic Journey through the Past, Present, and Future of America's Public Lands
"It was easy to see what Bundy and anti-public-land politicians really wanted: for public lands to be given to certain people. People who want land for their own gains--to mine it, graze it, drill it, or sell it--people who want to exploit it."-Mark Kenyon, That Wild Country: An Epic Journey through the Past, Present, and Future of America's Public Lands
"Far from the luxuries of home, camp life forces a slower, more thoughtful approach to living. Mornings are savored. Coffee is sipped rather than drained. Making meals is less a chore and more an event. An evening stroll replaces the nightly TV hypnosis. In short, for a few fleeting days, we are briefly, blissfully, beautifully human again."-Mark Kenyon, That Wild Country: An Epic Journey through the Past, Present, and Future of America's Public Lands
"As much as I love hiking and hunting and fishing and camping, I might love the meals that follow just as much. The post-adventure meal is akin to a religious experience. It just cannot be beat. Every time I leave the mountains or woods, my mind turns to where I can get a good greasy meal and cold beverage. And no matter how grubby the restaurant is or how piss poor the food looks, it always ends up being the best meal I've ever had. Always."-Mark Kenyon, That Wild Country: An Epic Journey through the Past, Present, and Future of America's Public Lands
