Paul. Getting to old to do the long hauls but what to let you know that your writing, this article, really resonated with me. Text and photos. Especially the above quote. Years ago, on our local TeeVee channel, there was a series for kids called, Jungle in Your Own Backyard. Seems like that means more to me now than it did sixty some-odd years ago.
Just walk out the door.
Thank you Paul.
PS still working on that list of all the items you suggested that I use pretty much on a constant basis.
