Some quotes to ponder as you hike this summer... or not 😉. This blog, in curating quotes, seeks to find dates and where these quotes were made across most of this site. That data for all these quotes was not easy to find. However, this is not just from one list in one one place.

I enjoyed "roaming" a lot as a child and teen in Gallup, NM. I also got interested in the works of Henry David Thoreau. I liked some of his other works better than his best-known Walden. He even had an essay (growing out of an original talk) called "Walking." The "Walking" essay is referenced elsewhere on this site.
