I don't have a copy in my van (or even in my home) but Ed Abbey's Monkey Wrench Gang...that is good stuff when out and about in the back country...The Spray (Slocum's boat's name...) that might be a good name for a waterboxer Westie.... (grin) I don't have room in the van for a permanent library...I just read em and toss em or trade em or take em back to the library. I do have DeLorme Map Atlas' for all western states under the passenger seat and I find many great adventures using those.... a quote that I may have correct.."Adventure is not in the guidebook and beauty is not on the map" |
