OUTDOOR
A cool breeze and a warm ray of sunshine fight for your attention while simultaneously complementing
each other, as you stare into the never-ending skies and immense open country. The contiguous
surfaces of water and cloud capture your gaze and you breathe in every scent and sight together. This is
the feeling you’ve been longing for; the feeling of true awe and wonder.
This summer, take a trip into nature, and forfeit your ties to the city-life for a brief moment of simplicity in
such a complicated world. You’re encouraged to relinquish your duties and urged to explore. The old
idiom states it best: “There is no time like the present.” However, “there is also no greater present than
the time itself.” Take advantage of vacation hours, grab your pack, your compass, and your sunscreen,
and head out for the adventure of your life this season. Try new things, meet new people, and stand
courageously in the midst of America’s greatest treasure: her wilderness.
