The White Heart of Mojave

The White Heart of Mojave Synopsis

Excerpt from The White Heart of Mojave: An Adventure With the Outdoors of the Desert

Tion. You loaf along trout streams, or in red autumn woods with a gun in your hands for an excuse, or chase golf balls over green hills, or sail on the bay and get becalmed and do not care. For the pleasure of living outdoors you are willing to have your eyes smart from the smoke of the camp fire, and to be wet and cold, and to fight mosquitoes and ?ies. You like the feel of it, and you wait for that sudden sense of romance everywhere which is the touch of some thing big and simple and beautiful. It is always beyond the walls, that something, but most of us have been bullied by them so much that we have to go far away to find it; then we can bring it home and remember.
