Desert Solitaire

So, I was down in Gunnison, CO over the weekend for a race. As I had purposely extended my weekend for some additional downtime, I brought one of my favorite books along with me. Ya know - one of those books that you have to re-read every year or two? And that book is Desert Solitaire, by Edward Abbey. It is such a delightfully refreshing read, I must recommend this to all out there who love nature, our National Parks heritage, and a good read. Though the book is 40 years old this year, the book still holds such truth and honesty of his experience as a Park Ranger in Arches National Park in Utah in the late 1950's.

That's it. Pick up a copy of it why don't ya? Let me know what you think.
