Restore Hetch Hetchy

From the Restore Hetch Hetchy web site:

Imagine the opportunity we have to allow Nature to re-create another Yosemite Valley. Imagine the opportunity we have to allow Nature to restore Yosemite National Park’s Hetch Hetchy Valley, the place John Muir called “a grand landscape garden, one of Nature’s rarest and most precious mountain temples.” There is no other opportunity like this anywhere on Earth.

iPod in the Backcountry

Starting a few years ago I noticed people carrying their recorded music into the backcountry. I’ve resisted for a long time, even though I’m a college music faculty member. This weekend, on the spur of the moment, I decided to toss my iPod mini and a pair of small earphones into my pack as I departed for my 3-day Yosemite pack trip.

I’m glad to report that, as usual, I had music going through my mind almost the entire weekend – but that I wasn’t even tempted to turn on the iPod once. I think I passed the test… ;-)

Online in the Valley?

Ari Soglin writes about an article in the Contra Costa Times that discusses the options for staying connected (Internet, cable TV) whlle in Yosemite Valley. While I’m as wired in as the next guy, I feel genuinely sorry for anyone who goes to the Valley and decides to stay in the lodge and catch CNN.
