A JOHN MUIR QUOTE ABOUT GOING HOME


"Thousands of tired, nerve-shaken, over-civilized people are beginning to find out that going to the mountains is going home; that wilderness is a necessity."

      Hello Dorothy, we were in Montana traveling through Glacier National Park a few years ago. This is Lake McDonald Valley (link below) and if we ever get there again we will stay at the Lake McDonald Lodge. Keeping fingers crossed, and will just say one of these days :)
