  1. I cheated and looked him up. Honestly I've never heard of him and I'm not revealing his name. However, at first glance I thought it might be Eden Ahbez.

  3. I think it's Edward Abbey, once the sole resident of Arches National Park. If so, crusty describes him well.

  4. I name him "Jake." He looks like a Jake.

    ...Or do you mean "tell me who he is"?

    1. "Confessions of a barbarian" and "The fools progress" are also terrific reads. I will admit though, I keep a tatterd copy of Soliraire in my hiking pack for those time you NEED a good bedtime read in camp.

  6. Yep, Edward Abbey and how I wish he and George Carlin would be here to hear their commentary of current events.
