Day 62 March 31, 2009 (Tues)

The more I travel in the country, the more land I see that has remained untouched by the hand of man. You could not imagine something more beautiful. I've climbed to the very tops of mountains, arriving tired and out-of-breath then once I get my heart rate back to normal, my breath is taken away again by the sight. Mountains as far as the eye can see and they countinue existing even beyond that, like a never-ending story. Changing from dark blue to light based on dimension and depth. Rows and rows of trees stacked on the mountainsides. It's difficult to find the horizon out here. It is hard to believe such natural beauty can even still exist and yet it does. Every now and then, a tin shack is raised to reside a poor family in the valley of the mountains. Somebody said it perfectly, a $10 house with a $1 million view. It's amazing to think of how many contractors or businesses would lose their minds over such prime property. I hope these places remain unseen and untouched by machinery.
