The Wilderness Provides the Ultimate Delight

To countless people 

the wilderness provides 

the ultimate delight 

because it combines 

the thrills of 

jeopardy and beauty. 

It is the last stand for 

that glorious adventure 

into the physically unknown.

-- Bob Marshall

Every River is a World of Its Own

Swift or smooth, 

broad as the Hudson or 

narrow enough to 

scrape your gunwales, 

every river is 

a world of its own, 

unique in pattern and personality. 

Each mile on a river 

will take you 

further from home 

than a hundred miles on a road.

-- Bob Marshall
