Getting Here: A Collection of Life Adventures - Paperback

Nature sets the scene for stories that spread from tracking Sasquatch in the Siskiyous to a murderous winter gale on a Yellowstone peak. They take in rock hunting in the Utah desert and fishing in a tributary of a river that springs, full-blown, from the side of a mountain. Wildlife populates the stories, like the moose that becomes the author's fishing partner and the two swans that conspire to protect a beleaguered neighbor. Celebrities make appearances as well, including famed artist Archie Teater, philanthropist Roland Harriman, Minnesota Viking lineman Jim Marshall, and a handful of Idaho governors. Full of laugh-aloud humor as well as heart-stopping drama, Getting Here comes with the insight and wit of a man who has spent a lifetime championing the great outdoors.
