Many are the mountain ranges across the surface of this planet, so many in fact, it would be amiss of me to think I could ever be inclusive of these many ranges in this gallery.

Still, my hope is, in my travels, to visit as many of these as can be accomplished in my life, so with my boots on, the burden strapped to my back and camera ready at hand, I will wend my way to the summits of the many.

"The physical abode of the mountain, in all respects, is a place that remains remote and difficult to achieve. Mentally, the braves achieved upon it provide untold feelings of accomplishment despite any number of attempts necessary. Emotionally, the needs of a wayfarer diminish proportionally to the time spent thereon. Spiritually, the mountain from atop its summits, provides a wide perspective stretching across valleys, lakes, forests, ridges to to the fog-enshrouded horizons; a perspective enhancing the search for God during those time of silence. Too, the mountain is often used to represent what many yearn for; the means to achieve a personal relationship with God. Thereupon, one can find this solace that is so well sought after.

"Every thing within the realm of the mountain, including the: brotherhood, burden, feather, fog, forest, high path, high place, inner voice, journal, journey, need, quest, rain, real life, rocks, roots, ruts, self, simplicity, snow, solace, solitude, step, summit, toil, treeline, views, walk, way, web, wind, and yes, even the goofers, the mundane, the turkeys and the weekend warriors are all part of that which a solace seeking wayfarer uses to find guiding principles for his betterment and to achieve his goal of spiritual enlightenment.

"How and where does a wayfarer find this lofty place? And what is the mountain? Well, the mountain can never be found by those on holiday in a motor home, or on vacation in a motel, or at summer camp on a cot, nor even camping in a park campsite. Furthermore, the mountain is never a place traveled to in a car for camping because it is not on or near any roadway. Yes, it is true that this Way often crosses or travels alongside roads, but when this Way is seen by most people, its path is inevitably passed by as not suitable for their needs, particularly when considering it for their camping use. Nevertheless, the point that is trying to be made here is that whenever you are camping, you are really not on The Mountain."
