The following is a collection of outdoor quotes from a Yahoo group I helped to maintain: the Colorado Hiking and Outdoor Society “back in the day”.  The group is now on Meetup.

 

Most of the quotes were chosen by me. I found the quotes from my readings, cribbed from other sites or just happened to hear. A few I chose for a specific day (e.g. Halloween).  A few were chosen by friends when I went away on vacation and they handled the e-mail list. Most, but not all, the quotes are outdoor and/or adventure related The really oddball quotes are probably by my buddy Josh . 🙂

Have the quotes up to Spring  2006 from just before I left for the CDT. I also have extra quotes that I like and never used and/or added to over the years.  The quotes are from over a decade at this point.
Enjoy!
