Episode 384: The Great Outdoors' Calling

It’s fun getting out to the state and city parks, and into the woods to hike. It's a revival of sorts for those who venture forth. There's much evidence on how good hiking can be for one's health. From John Muir, Our National Parks, 1901: “Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop away from you like the leaves of Autumn.”
