MY OPINION: I ENVY HIM

From up here it is easy to imagine an earlier Appalachia: wide savannas thick with buffalo, the skies crowded with passenger pigeons, dense groves of chestnut trees, the brilliant red-black flash of an ivory-billed woodpecker – all of these species are extinct or sequestered elsewhere in the country. Savannas are gone. Towns are built over. Words are forgotten. There is a new country here. Marshall, in his camo gear, clutching an old map, sounding wistful, says, “The mountains haven’t changed.”

I visited up state NY once working, Mt Kisco- it was pretty- reminded me of around Ruidoso NM- I prefer wide open spaces though- like west Texas, Wyoming, Montana, western South Dakota, Arizona in places, Nevada, Utah - but I envy the man the article is about- what a life style!
