Walkin' Jim Stoltz and others

MORNING IN THE MOUNTAINS by Walkin' Jim Stoltz

So live each day like
You mean it,

Grab hold of each dawn
That comes your way.

And if it's blessings
You're a - countin'

Try a morning in the mountains
There ain't no better way
To start the day.

We learned about Walkin' Jim Stoltz from Dave Streeter, one of our guides this week. Last night we spent the night singing Dave's original songs (he plays the 5 string banjo and 12 string guitar - Bob loved him at first sight!), Woody Guthrie's and John Denver's classics, and was introduced to the simple, true words of Stoltz.

If you love nature and want to make sure we have woods, grasses, water, and animals alive on this planet today and in the future, definitely check out his website: http://www.walkin

He shares his music, art, poetry, and commentary on his experiences of walking over 28,000 miles throughout this continent - he's done all the big trails like the Pacific Crest, etc.

He's a friend and soul mate of Dave's. Don't forget to check out Doug Follett and Dave Chadwick, too, on the web. That's what Bob and I love about these Elderhostel retreats, we learn so much about places, events, and especially come into contact with real people making a difference.

Forever wild, forever wild
Let it stay forever wild
