"The seasons, like greater tides, ebb and flow across the continents.
SPRING advances up the United States at the average rate of about fifteen
miles a day. It ascends mountainsides at the rate of about a hundred feet
a day. It sweeps ahead like a flood of water, racing down the long valleys,
creeping up hillsides in a rising tide. Most of us, like the man who lives
on the bank of a river and watches the stream flow by, see only one phase
of the movement of spring. Each year the season advances toward us out of
the south, sweeps around us, goes flooding away to the north."
 From: "North With the Spring"
by Edwin Way Teale. -- 1960
Break with routine and journey out into the natural world." John W. Brainerd
The Outdoor Observer
"The love of wilderness is more than a hunger for what is always beyond our reach; it is also an expression of loyalty to the earth, the only home we shall ever know; the only paradise we ever need -- if we only had the eyes to see." Edward Abbey
