    Jo snapped this photo one February day, much like today west of Rocky Top. It sort of embodies the mid Winter ridges around Yakima and the always present rock jack that served as a cairn for wandering hikers. William O. Douglas, aged 15, was most certainly familiar with such sights which etched his memory for the 1951 remembrance we all know as "Of Men and Mountains".

                                        Stone's Source - Part #  IV  /56   I do not choose to glorify the inside of existence, nor its surface, or the hands of time passing into midnight or across other distances which also pass and which do not come back.   I do not choose to glorify the ways which ruin, in infamy, predates experience, nor the experience, nor the infamy.   I do not choose to glorify all that has been left here by the time of that instant or the balance of its return which is empty, or the way around its return which is cold or the way through its return which we all fear if we know it and ignore if we don't.

They do not issue from the device of its form, and its form is like that when it visits stars or star-shaped stones, or the liquid orbs of space, whic...
