The pages that I referred to were, of course, from the wilderness press
guidebooks. I would not be without them - plus Eric's book.

I, for one, possibly the only one, LOVED the Wilderness Press
Guidebook and all the flowery prose. It was a highlight of my evening
to read it. I don't think I would have enjoyed the trip as much
without the natural history to enlighten me. I would have walked
around always wondering, what's this tree? What are these rocks?
What's that mountain? Sometimes the flowery prose also saved my butt
from getting lost. Of course those times were balanced out by the
times I did get lost. But anyway, if you are a natural history
person, a reader, an enjoyer of words, and a lover of trivia, you may
want to carry the WP guide book. My boyfriend set off with only
Eric's book and was frustrated not to have all that trivia. Being
such a walking encyclopedia of little tidbits of arcane knowledge, I
couldn't believe he went without it. I sent it to him and all was
right with the world once more.
