Getting Started



This past weekend my family and I met some friends in Twin Falls, ID, where we went to Shoshone Falls. It was close to sunset, and very spectacular. I love passing through the canyon walls, seeing where the water has etched through the rock. I read a couple of books over the last few months (Contested Plains by Elliot West, The Worst Hard Time by Timothy Egan, and Riding the White Horse Home by Teresa Jordan) that really describe the human connection with the land. This concept has truly influenced the way I am looking at my present environment. I feel drawn to the open spaces and find myself looking for opportunities to be outside.
