Quote of the Week

A MOUNTAINEER MAY BE SATISFIED TO NURSE HIS ATHLETIC INFANCY UPON HOME ROCKS, AND HE MAY BE HAPPY TO PASS THE LATER YEARS OF HIS EXPERIENCE AMONG THE MORE ELUSIVE IMPRESSIONS AND MORE SUBTLE ROMANCE OF OUR OLD AND QUIET HILLS. BUT IN THE STORM YEARS OF HIS STRENGTH HE SHOULD TEST HIS POWERS, LEARN HIS CRAFT AND EARN HIS TRIUMPHS IN CONFLICT WITH THE ABRUPT YOUTH AND WARLIKE HABIT OF GREAT GLACIAL RANGES.
