Charlie,
I'm following this with interest and consideration of Leopolds' Credo. The
one thing I bring into the wilderness that leaves no trace and does no harm
and DOES benefit the wilderness is MY APPRECIATION! Without my
appreciation and yours, and yours, and yours, etc. the wilderness would
have long ago succumbed to the interests of those who only look at
wilderness as a resource to exploit.
Therefore, one footnote to Leopold's quote should be "Except for thoughts
of appreciation and value for the intrinsic values of wilderness and the
resulting influence upon policy that such appreciation bares."
IMHO,
Greg "Strider" Hummel
