[Nameless Range]

No power or cell signal last night and today due to wind damage, so I picked this up and read it for the first time in 30 years.

I read three short stories: “The Heathen”, “Lost Face”, and “A Piece of Steak”, and damn if Jack London wasn’t great.

To build a fire is one of the all-time best.

Very well researched account of a lost ranger in Sequoia NP. However, the vast majority of the book while intended to inspire a sense of wilderness/environmentalism really just reaffirmed why I don't like NPs, and find traditional environmentalism too preachy.

Mountain Man: John Colter, The Lewis and Clark Expedition, and the call of the American West

Not outdoor oriented, but finishing the last book in the trilogy which begins with The Brotherhood of the Rose by Dave Morrell. Very different take on spy tradecraft spanning generations.

Just wrapping this one up. Kind of interesting read on one of the most famous names in ornithology. Nice to see someone write a real book about the guy, warts and all. And all the drama of early colonial natural history kind of cracks me up.

Next up:


I’m not confident I’ll make it through this one, but I’ll give it a whirl.

Just finished Project Hail Mary, if you can get through the first quarter, it turns out to be a nice read.

Sure, it's a complication of short stories about a time period which I find incredibly fascinating. Some of the stories are informational, some are thought provoking.

Was it written by people at that time, or written by contemporary authors about that time?

Nothing specific I just like hearing a bit more about what people are reading, more than just what a Google review says.

Last Days of the Sicilians...highly recommend!

I enjoy reading this. There is good info all though some is outdated. Its interesting to read and then compare to where things are at now. My favorite part of the book is that the float trip I do is not in it! lol
