" Do not burn yourself out. Be as I am-- a reluctant
enthusiast, a part time crusader, a half hearted fanatic.
Save the other half of yourself for pleasure and adventure.
It is not enough to fight for the West. It is even more
important to enjoy it. While you can. While it is still
there. So get out there and hunt and fish and mess around
with your friends, explore the forests, encounter the griz,
climb the mountains, run the rivers. Sit quietly for a while
and contemplate the precious stillness, the lovely, mysterious,
awesome space."

--Edward Abbey.
