Jonathan Waterman ends his book IN THE SHADOW OF DENALI with a quote from Robert Service's poem "The Spell of the Yukon."
There's a land where the mountains are nameless,
And the rivers all run God knows where;
There are lives that are erring and aimless,
And deaths that just hang by a hair;
I enjoyed re-reading the book, it touched on some great times that I had with Jon in New Hampshire, in Scotland, and in Colorado. It also reminded me of so many alpine stories on Denali, including my 1992 trip with Gary, Danny, Matt, Tommy, and Bear when so many people died while we were there ... Including Mugs Stump.
