Only by going alone in silence, without baggage, can one truly get into the heart of the wilderness. All other travel is mere dust and hotels and baggage and chatter.
The clearest way into the Universe is through a forest wilderness.
When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it hitched to everything else in the universe.
The mountains are calling and I must go.

Right, so. I would like to contend that there are valuable skills getting trammeled out by the ubiquity of smart phones. These skills include but are not limited to 1) sense of direction; 2) respect for present company; 3) problem solving; 4) remembering things; 5) the art of conversation; etc.
I still read maps.

Each day, we have a choice. We can choose to continue to be in the same situation we’re in. Or, we can choose to start a very long journey with a single step. That journey will take a long time, but when we get to the other end, we’ll find ourselves in a completely different place than we’re at right now. Along the way, we’ll walk some roads that are completely different than the ones we’re used...

And I’ve been riding for exactly one season. “How the hell is this guy qualified to write about motorcycle touring if he’s been riding for one season?” many people ask. Well, I’ll tell you two stories in the next couple of days. One is about a six month road trip to the US of A, and the other is about the first motorcycle I owned when I was 16.
