I really enjoyed this tour of your local natural areas. There’s still some nature out there, and while it’s nice that people are out enjoying it, I too have an allergy to crowds :)

You might appreciate my most recent post about Walden Pond. I’m fortunate that it is only 15 minutes from me, but, like you say, few have the desire to build a cabin and live near the land these days. I wonder how different our society might be if we could all do that?

Our society would be very different if we all tried to do that. We would realize how crowded the world is and how much the price of real estate has gone up. Nevertheless, I agree with Wendell Berry who says that we should all grow as much of our own food as possible.
