There’s something about being together in the wild. It’s a different kind of togetherness than going to the movies or even gathering around the dinner table. To quote the wisdom of John Muir once again, “Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in, where nature may heal and give strength to body and soul.” And while solitude is precious, I would argue that nothing forges bonds as well as adventuring together.
